Shannon28 26 Posted April 28, 2012 I don't start solids for a couple of weeks but I've been meal planning and looking up healthy recipes and I was wondering if tortilla wraps are okay to eat. I know to stay clear of breads but are tortilla wraps considered somewhat the same? Is there anyone that has problems with them? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waitingpatiently 250 Posted April 28, 2012 I'm a newbie too...actually just had my first fill thursday...so I can't answer for the long term but I can eat them now. I'm not sure if you are sticking to a low carb diet, if you are you, might want to consider the Ole Extreme Wellness tortillia . there are a few that are high fiber/low carb. with about 70-75 calories/4-8proteins/ and only about 5net carbs!! good stuff. I found them at kroger and Walmart has a couple flavors as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted April 28, 2012 Personally I would stay away from wraps; empty carbs and high calories. Look at the package probably 100-200 cals for one. I use romaine lettuce leaves as a wrap for sandwiches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found a couple of grilled spicy chicken wrap recipes that I would love to make. I love bread so I thought the tortilla wraps might help that craving. Thank you very much for the info!

Cocoabean 430 Posted April 28, 2012 I don't do low carb. I eat wraps rather than sandwiches. I don't have a problem with tortillas, but I do with soft breads. Many bandsters cannot eat tortillas, though. I am afraid it will be trial and error for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taty 0 Posted April 29, 2012 I recently discovered those little flat breads - they have while wheat and multi grain etc, great substitute if you're missing bread I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shannon28 26 Posted April 29, 2012 I'm afraid of the trial and error also lol. I did find a spicy grilled chicken wrap recipe thats only 275 calories for the whole thing, you have to use a whole wheat tortilla but it looks really good. I'm not really a carb watcher but I'll see how everything goes once I can start eating solids. Thank you for the suggestions everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
