I wonder if the merchant is sneaking any gluten into their “bread”.

Edit: extra carbs I mean. Getting my diets confused here.

Gluten is protein (i.e. not carbs) and is a common (and permitted) ingredient in keto bread, to make it more bread-like.
This made me think of [1] this discussion here about subway and their fake whole wheat bread. It looks like Subway was forced to change their recipe but honestly I don't have faith in any many companies. Instead of offering good food it always ends up "return to share holders" mode and the product turns to crap. {1| https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24646755
It was not too long ago that Ireland ruled that there was so much sugar in the Subway bread it was 'cake'. Sugar made up 10% of the weight of the flour.

I had a subway chicken teriyaki last year (probably didn’t have a Subway Sandwich for 10 years before that).

It seems their chicken is a chicken-soy-mix. At least taste and texture are that way

it's ok, they're all fad diets, just ignore all of them
