wonton's



Recommended Posts

I've stumbled upon many recipes while scouring this site that were utilizing wonton wrappers. Aren't those high in carbs? I'm hesitant to use them for fear I'll be adding unnecessary carbs towards my daily intake?

Okay...thoughts on wonton wrappers....GO!

well according to my fitness pal, one of them has 4 gms of carbs. if you fill them with meat as the recipes suggest, I doubt we'll be able to eat more than 2 of those little cupcakey things, so that's maybe 8 gms. If you're doing about 40-60 gms of carb a day, 8 is doable. I mean, yogurt has more than that so it seems doable to me.

Honestly those low carb recipes are fabulous for parties, holidays or just get togethers. They are not meant to be used every single day. Each one is 4 carbs which you must contribute into your intake (or 8 if you have two) but what you put in them is what's important and will be your "make it or break it". If you are using them to kick off cravings or cooking something up the whole family can enjoy then it's okay as long as you fill them with lots of lean Protein that will keep you full for hours! But as a suggestion...I wouldn't use them if you are early on in your journey (unless the "chicken chimichangas" "tacos salad" and "pizza" wontons) keep you from eating the real thing.

4 grams of carbs is very do-able. Didn't realize it was so low! I wanted to try some lasagna cups.

Lemme know how it works would you? They seem so cute and portable that I'd like to try them. Just don't know about the taste.

I make two or three dozen of these at a time using different recipes and stick them in the freezer individually wrapped. They are so convenient to grab one in the morning when I'm running out the door for work. Best places for recipes, in my opinion, is egg face and Emily's bites. Don't have the exact web addresses but sure you can google to find them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
