What is a good sandwich filler? except cheese or ham

Agree 100%. I just eat a wide variety of things. Not thinking too much about what I eat, as long as it´s as natural as possible. The chemical things and artificially produced stuff, like you mention, are the most dangerous of all. I might drink a bit too much, but I still do my work with no problem. Probably make more than most of the member on this forum does, and having a fun and great life at the same time. Sure, my consumption might take away 5-10 year from my life expectancy, but there are two factors that make stands behind my choice of life style.

1. I might live until I am so old that I can not walk, talk or socialize with people the last 5 years. What kind of life would that be, not being able to enjoy life?

2. Many people say, you have to cut down on this and that, to live long. So, if having a great and fun life, take away 10 years, so be it. As I had a great life, that will be all that counts. Hopefully my children will be old enough for me to see them grow up until adulthood and even have a grand child as well. As I am only 54, and my children are 12 and 5 years old, it tells me that would be possible even as I live a rather careless life in the health department according to many health freaks. 🙂 

Indeed there are many of life's pleasures that some people will urge you to give up ,  but in reality you won't live any longer it will just feel like it

 I too have probably  lost 5 to 10 years off the end of my life, but as I fully expected to spend those years alone in a nursing home , blighted by dementia , probably incontinent ,  for most of the time covered in my own faeces and urine , and at the mercy of a poorly qualified sadistic carer I can't say I am that bothered.

These health freaks seem to think that they won't succumb to death,  boy are they in for a shock one day, and it may come around quicker than they think,  it normally does

I visited Chicago a few times some years back and on one occasion, I stopped at a Schlotzsky's sandwicherie and decided to try a Ruebens on rye, for the first time. It was up there with the best sandwiches Ive ever eaten. Have a look at the recipe!

nearly as laughable as your claim that  vegan farts don't smell ,  

Do you have a "vegan" cat too ? I believe that is also currently quite fashionable.   Although anybody subjecting a cat to that sort of cruelty should be locked up for a very long time, likewise those that declaw them  , also popular amongst vegans  as it prevents them from catching mice etc      And that's a lifestyle ? 

 Credit where its due though you have obviously done a lot of research  and appear only too keen to supply links and info ,  is that to justify your diet to yourself or do you find that you just can't help trying to convert people,  another common trait  amongst the self-righteous  "communities" which themselves appear to be expanding exponentially 

Not trying to convert anyone. The OP asked for tasty, healthy alternatives and I responded. You're the one that got defensive started hurling insults and making baseless claims. I couldn't give a flying fluck what you or anyone ingests. But when you start making false claims and accusations, then I will refute them. I don't need to justify anything to anyone. My diet is for me and a decision made and stuck to for more than 34 years and will remain so for my remaining years. You obviously have no clue about what fads and fashionable mean. Should people inquire about my vegan lifestyle (or start with the same ol' tired, ignorant BS), I will tell them what I know and have learned and supply links and facts and other helpful tidbits for them (and you) to possibly learn something...instead of just spouting off nonsense and inaccuracies. 

 

BTW...wouldn't feed a cat a vegan or veg diet. Just another sad and ignorant deflection. Strawman much❗❓

Cheese has similar constituent chemicals to chocolate. Gives the same satisfaction.

 

Anyway I'd suggest plentiful lettuce, tomato and a dash of salt'n'pepper. Whatever the bread.

Instead of buying the nutrient challenged iceberg lettuce I go for the sunflower sprouts at Makro.  A bit loose and messy to eat but much better.

It must be quite difficult to take a bite from that sandwich (and I think that three different types of egg in one sandwich is overkill - two would have been ample). I bet it looks a little like this:-

 

[Evil Penevil]

For me it's a meatloaf sandwich.

 

 

Other choices would be:

 

Tuna melt

 

Katsu pork

 

 

Grilled eggplant, tomato and mozzarella

 

 

Fried chicken

 

 

Fried  fish

Vegan = Leftie. Wanna find an antisemitic terrorist supporter without obvious facial scars or missing eyes or intact nose pickers to go by? Look at his plate.

Although i like cheese and ham i mostly avoid as they aren't good for you.

 

Looking for healthy options 

the bread you put the cheese and ham in aren't good for you.

 

[GypsyT]

Since OP's "healthy" seems to be unclear may I show what has been The Best sandwich I've even eaten; Cuban pressed "Tripleta" in Puerto Rico truck stop!

The price was about $ 3.50. It was a full meal too.

 

Like this; https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tripleta-hearty-puerto-rican-sandwich-110057435.html

 

It CAN be healthy if you don't eat anything for next 6-8hr.

 

Is there any Cuban or Puerto Rican eateries in Thailand? haven't seen any.

'I' do this and are in perfect health... sounds similar to people basing their lifestyle on the guy that smokes to 100 years of age and is fine... There will always be statistical outliers (both good and bad habits etc.).  

 

In the end it comes down to pluses and minuses... and good and not so good.  Bread is not bad in moderation, but it is high in calories (and is usually served with a fat which is high in calories) with little nutritional value, relatively low in fiber, higher in calories - and is not that filling in itself and spikes your blood sugar... Which leads to people tend to over indulging in bread - which if/and in combination with a relatively sedentary lifestyle -- is definitely on the minus side.  Basically, it sounds a lot like desert... empty calories of little nutritional value.

if you feel confident that it's not harming your body, go ahead. 

i quit bread.

but man do i miss it.

maybe if you go to heaven when you die, you can eat all the bread and pizza you want.

It's not difficult, don't eat it with fatty junk. I generally eat healthily hence why my BMI is as it should be. BTW if you're overweight i don't take nutrition advice from fat people

i have 2-6 slices a day, all good. I mentioned before, there was a study, they got a small group of men to eat an extra 4-6 slices of bread a day for a period, all lost weight. Being more full it stopped them snacking on junk

there are a lot of "studies" done by people who come from the dark pits of hell to confuse people in order to keep people sick.

not saying that particular "study" you're quoting is necessarily one of them. 

there's a new study that just came out that claims burgers cause diabetes.

just saying May The Force Be With You when you sift through a study.

Old news, don't forget fat causes insulin resistance and burgers can be full of fat
