Carbs in Spinach Tortilla Wraps

[mehdi84]

Do Spinach tortilla wraps usually contain less carbs then Whole wheat tortilla wraps?

[gfundaro]

They'd probably contain about the same...they're not made entirely of spinach. They're still made of flour, just with spinach added. You can get low-carb tortillas at grocery stores. I use them all the time, they're packed with fiber and soft so they don't rip easily.

it all depends on the ingredients. some do, some don't. do you have a specific brand?

[mehdi84]

No idea what brand it is. Since I work at a software company, I have to choose between bringing lunch ( prolly not gonna happen XP ), and what they offer at the cafeteria. Usually, I get whole wheat wrap with lettice, tomatos, green peppers and grilled chicken. Then I try to get the dry, non-dressing'ed wrap down my throat with a diet coke :P

The extra calories in the wrap are on my mind, seeing as I believe they are adding about 250carbs extra a week into my diet... which could instead be translated into one yummy cheat meal in the week and then some ;P Maybe after I order it, I should just eat the contents of the wrap, and throw away the torilla :S

Sorry about the tangent, just got done with an intense workout and I think my mind isn't on straight... just yet... water... brb

well, you have two options to find out the nutritional info

1. you can ask at the cafeteria for the nutritional info. they sometimes have it, and though it may be slightly off, you can get a good idea.
or
2. you could bring your own lunch. in fact, you could bring your own wrap to put the contents in if you feel you really can't find the time to make it yourself in the morning.

in all truth, i'd worry less about the wrap and more about the diet soda...but that's a tangent in itself... :X

Whats wrong with diet soda?

Whats wrong with diet soda?

google the word aspartame (it's the sweetener used in diet coke/diet pepsi). well, unless you're alone at night :P

Well, yesterday I went shopping, and since bread is a no-no, I concidered wraps.. EVERY SINGLE TYPE, wheat what-ever, has 28G carbs PER WRAP.. I went through about 10 differant kinds, and ALL where over 20, even the small ones..

Thats what I get.

[gfundaro]

I get Toufayan and Banderitas brands wraps...5-8 g of carbs with those. Thomas's also makes a light english muffin that's 16g per muffin, but 1/2 with some meat is keto friendly if you eat 5% carbs from a fairly high calorie diet.

From what i've eaten, the spinach wraps have always contained more carbs than the wheat ones.

And after that, google the word "CANCER"

I eat these. I have a package at work.
I'll buy wendy's double cheese burgers ditch the bun and wrap my burger in these. I live by em. 4 net carbs with the wheat ones. Have never bounced me out of Keto
