Question

Is it healthier to eat just the sloppy joe meat and sauce without the bread ?

Answer 1

Omitting the bread would only save you a few calories and cabs. For a balanced meal, you need some carbs anyway. I would make the sloppy joes with 93% lean ground beef or ground turkey breast. You can also add some diced bell pepper, onion, and carrot to give more nutritional value.

Answer 2

depends what your views are... if you are on a low-carb diet, then yes, even though sloppy joe sauce usually has a fair amout of sugar.  If you arn't on a low-carb diet, sloppy joes are pretty bad in general but i would say on whole-grain or a better bun would be best.

Answer 3

serve the  filling in/on lettuce leaves

Answer 4

You'd be cutting the carbs out and about 200 calories for the bread.

I make mine with lean ground beef and serve it over brown rice.  It's low carb and lower in calories than on a bun.
