Ingredients

What this plate gives you
Sixty grams of sliced turkey breast is about 17 g of protein and the cheddar 5 g, for 179 calories, under 9 percent of a 2,000-calorie day, with 3 g of carbohydrate, the lowest of the snacks after the eggs. The cheddar is measured at 20 g because it carries 8 g of the fat; the turkey carries almost none. Roll a strip of cucumber inside and it stops being a plate of cold cuts.
Swaps
- Chicken breast: the same numbers.
- Cottage cheese spread inside: about the same protein, less fat.
- Mustard inside: no change to the numbers.
Keeping it
Rolled, they keep a day in the fridge; the turkey keeps to its date on its own.
