Hello, I've seen on many posts low carb wraps and I have no idea if any shops in the UK stock these?

I love wraps but have avoided them since starting MFP due to Mission Deli wraps having circa 250kcal each

    Asda now have a wholewheat tortilla wrap which I think is under 150 calories. Check them out.

    Hiya!
    I had this problem until I found the 'discovery' wraps. I bought them in Sainsburys. They arent too big, just the right size for me! And are only 115 cals each!! :) I fill mine with some mixed peppers and chicken breast, perfect lunch for 250cals :)

    Weight Watchers wraps are low. I just looked up the NVs and they are:

    White ones 90 calories ea.
    Wholewheat ones 106 cals ea.

    I can't seem to find the wholewheat ones localljy, but do occasionally use the white ones. However, be careful not to overfill as they are fairly thin (obviously, hence the low cals) and they can split if not careful. Otherwise great for reducing the carb cals.

    I found that its all a bit misleading... the WeightWatchers ones are almost half the size of the discovery ones so dont let the calories fool you.... the Asda ones are good value for the calories (i.e. the size of the wrap in proportion to the calories) but the other brands arent too bad either, give or take a few cals, when you consider the Size:calorie ratio!

    Try this one 70 cals per wrap ( josephs low carb tortillas) they are low cal, low fat and low carb.

    A great alternative is to wrap fillings in lettuce leaves. Crunchy and next to no calories!

    Sainsburys do ones that are about 140 cals each, but wraps do just seem to be really calorific! I have stopped eating them.

    Thank you all for the replies!

    Mmm wholewheat wraps, haven't seen locally them but there's a gigantic Tesco not too far away that will probably be the best

    Can anyone actually name a low CARB tortilla, not low calorie, as asked in the original question?

    I believe Tesco used to do some but not tired any of these myself. In the bikini bootcamp diet they say to use lettuce or corn tortilla wraps so I get those in asda or Sainsbury's (old el paso)

    Tesco's do wraps in their 'light' range about 135 plus Mission Deli do mini ones with 90 cals.

    Never seen low carb ones before tho. Has anyone else?

    I have no idea how these compare or if they're "low carb" for what they are, but Discovery do some sturdy wholemeal tortillas. Per tortilla/40g serving they are:

    Cals 109
    Protein 3.7g
    Carbs 16.2g
    etc

    They are really yummy :-)

    I don't advise to have carb if you are "0" blood type. Because any kind of grains are not digested by this blood type. I advise more protein for this blood type and not light exercises.
    It's up to you believe or not but at least you can give a try just for 1 week and check how you feel. But if you say "i can stop smoking but can't stop eating tortilla" then eat it them at breakfast rarely at lunch but never at dinners.

    Thanks .Not bad for the size. Mission Deli mini's are 97 cals, 14.6g carbs but only 31g in size.

    60% of calories from carbs - definitely not low carb.

    I get these.....................http://www.lowcarbmegastore.com/bread-scones-wraps/wraps-and-flatbreads. They are quite expensive BUT I buy a few packs and then freeze them individually to use whenever. They are ideal and yummy :bigsmile:

    This! I'm eating these as a daily lunch with salad filling and they are indeed of a good size and taste too. Not badly priced either

    From my research, avoid all wheat products, its bad for you and addictive, have you noticed you crave it? I think your best bet would be rye 100% bread. Its available at Asda. It has the lowest gi, so wont cause a blood sugar spike (which makes you want to eat more to compensate when suddenly you get low blood pressure as your body tries to balance it) so leaves you feeling full, unlike wheat based products.
