Mission carb control tortillas

[krisstep 31]

Has anyone tried the mission carb balance tortillas?? They are very good and have 6g net carbs. I eat it in moderation if course because I can't believe they're low carb lol. It's a quick fix for my cravings of wraps quesadillas or tacos and burritos. Let me know if any of you guys have had it. They are pretty pricy 8 of them for 5.99 but worth it.

I've tried them, and yes they do taste like "regular" tortillas. But I'm very suspicious of net carbs. I get it that the idea is that net carbs are what you're left with once you take the total carb count & subtract how many Fiber grams there are. But...my nutritionist never mentioned net carbs...just to keep my carbs below 50 grams a day. Therefore- I don't eat the carb control tortillas. Or the Breyer's Carb Smart ice cream...same thing. Plus, there's a Pasta out there that's called DreamFields that advertises itself as having just 5 net carbs per serving, but when you enter it into MyFitnessPal, it comes up like it was any old Pasta. I'm just too suspicious and no pasta or bread is worth all the work I've done so far.

I'm also tracking full carbs instead of net carbs for basically the same reasons. That said, the carb balance tortillas are the best balance (see what I did there?) between Protein, fat, and carb that I've found while still being tasty. They go down a little tough sometimes and they're still more carbs than strictly necessary (as my surgeon told me: "no one ever died from lack of carbs"), but every once in a while they really hit the spot.

I guess it's all about moderation. I have one small taco sized one every once in a while. Hits the spot
