Is potbellys okay to eat?

my doctor told me to say away from deli meat. Unless it was packaged. All I've been craving is a nice delicious sandwich from potbellys!!!! I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like if I eat it once I will feel really guilty. Are you ladies staying away 100% from deli meat and sandwich places?

    Not at all. If I want it, I eat it.
    Especially from a reputable place.

    Just do a search. You'll see plenty of threads on this topic. A lot of folks on here eat deli meat.

    I doubt it's a listeria concern (more risk with fruits & veggies) and more of a nitrates concern. One delicious sandwich will not be the end of you. Enjoy it.

    I tried to with my last pregnancy but failed miserably when the only thing I could stomach for a few weeks was a cold turkey subway sandwich. Subway even says in their fine print somewhere that pregnant women should not eat their lunch meat because of the listeria risk. The risk is very small though. I ate that sandwich daily, with maybe a smidge of guilt but mostly just felt good that I was eating something!


    It hasn't really been an issue this time. I'm not craving it. But if it sounds good then I'll eat it.

    My OB told me lunch meat is fine as long as I microwave it first. I did cave yesterday and have an amazingly delicious turkey, bacon avocado sandwich from Atlanta Bread Company though. It was amazing!
