just saw someone post a nice recipe with tortilla wraps (80 calories a wrap)

i often eat white or wholemeal wraps but the lowest calorie i have ever found is 142? that was a small wholemeal one

does anyone in the UK buy lower calorie ones? and from where?

id love an 80 calorie wrap, cos then i could eat two! with lots of protein filling :)

    hi i buy the weight watchers wraps... they are about 90-100 calories and a bit smaller.. but today i was out and about so bought a w.w. ready made chicken fajita wrap. it was one wrap cut in half and the informationn thig called it two wraps! It was filling but well over 200 calories.

    I'm not sure you will be able to have a wrap so low in calories?

    can't help too much but i would try your local morrisons, the've suddenly added loads of new breads etc to their shelves (i can get sandwich thins and square wraps at mine) so may be worth trying

    I prefer the "Flat Out" multigrain wraps...should be located near the bread in your grocer. I buy the 3-pack at Costco if you are a member there.

    are the weight watchers ones wholemeal? i have a problem with weightwatchers foods in that they seem to think rediculous amounts of salt is ok.

    any other low cal wraps?

    weight watchers are the lowest but they also stick together in the packet!

    The best wraps are the tesco healthy living ones.... and don;t be fooled into just the healthy living version - the ones they do with seeds are lower! And nicer!!! I fill mine with salad and they are very yummy!!!

    I'm sure I've had some of the smaller Discovery wraps around 110? I am always jealous of the americans wide diet food choices and breads.

    EDIT: Sainsburys Discovery Wholemeal Tortilla 109 cal

    i will have a look.

    low calorie wraps would be fantastic, big enough to hold all the filling together! who really needs two slices of bread at lunch, id far rather more chicken!!

    My favorite are "Ole Extreme Wellness" 100% whole wheat wraps

    I think they are 78calories if I remember correctly? And, they taste good..not grainy like others I have tried.

    This weekend I bought Mission Wheat & White Mini Wraps, which have added wheatgerm and fibre (from Asda). They have 97 cals each. Or you could use the new Warburton square wraps which are 159 cals each, and just cut them in half!

    I am obsessed with the Tortilla Factory 50 cal high fiber wraps right now.

    As for buying them in the UK I can't help you there! Good luck! :smokin:

    Size matters girls.....the weight watchers wraps are a smaller diameter. Maybe just buy your favourite, stick a plate over it and cut round it & voilà ! A healthy wrap equivalent or lower in calories to the ww variety.

    i bought the warburtons square wraps! i can not believe they are only 159 calories, they are thick, and really big!! i hope they have the calories correct!!!

    anyways i have prepared pizzas out of them, i will use them all the time now!!

    today im having peanut butter and bacon sandwich :) :P

    warburtons do sandwich thins and square wraps. here is the links to their website http://www.warburtons.co.uk/squareishwraps/index.asp - it has the nutritional value and some recipe ideas. the wrap is over 100 cal but you will only need the one as once you have filled it they are filling.

    try it out.

    I get the asda tortilla wraps - in the bakery section the large ones are 125 cals, resealable bag - which I like! Can't get enough filling in those small wraps.

    I love La tortilla Factory wraps!! They come in several flavors between 50-100 calories. I especially love their Smart and Delicious line, so good! Sorry, I don't know where to get them in the UK though....

    just in case you are interested tesco have got the weight watchers wraps on offer at the moment 50p a pack

    and what surprised me was their value wraps at 130 cals, didn't notice the sodium etc but i was surprised at the cals, not as big as some wraps but still a nice size and not a bad price either

    They are expensive but Asda do a Kale wrap. I found them in the gluten free section. They are £2.00 for four wraps so not the cheapest but at 82 cals for a large wrap they are fab. Although they are green they taste like a normal wrap. They are also packed with fibre.

    Just found the name of the Kale wraps. They are Genius Gluten Free Kale Fibre Wraps 4 Pack and you can get them from other UK supermarkets.
