Low carbs

I'm not disagreeing that net carbs are what matters, but when my DH and I each went through classes with a registered dietitian after being diagnosed with diabetes (much to my indignation and surprise when it was my turn), she taught us to track carbs and not net carbs. But she stressed it was important we get 45-60 carbs per meal. And yes, he weighed twice as much as I did and we got the same amounts. It's just trickier for me as I need fewer calories than he does and when I get enough carbs I struggle to get enough protein and stay within my calorie budget.

That said, I can recommend Aldi's Fit & Active Low Carb flour tortillas at 11 total carbs per piece (5 net)(https://www.nutritionix.com/i/fit-active/low-carb-tortillas/5d7de264aae1d2885ca60ce9 ). But for what it's worth, their Pueblo Lindo brand corn tortillas and Casa Mamita brand taco shells are lower in carbs and have zero sodium. That's like miracle food for me because I like corn tortillas better than flour ones.

You have a lot of considerations here.. low carb covers a LOT of different ways of doing the diet.

First.. do you count NET or TOTAL carbs? If you count total carbs like I do, these are not an option.. when I looked at them, wheat was 30 g, and flour was 19 grams. If you count NET, then wheat has 25 grams of fiber, and is 5 NET carbs, and Flour w/ 15 grams fiber is 4 NET carbs.

Second.. how many carbs are you allowed.. Atkins Induction is 20 grams of carbs, and Keto should be 25 or less.. so is 5grams of carbs too much for 110 calories ( wheat ), or 70 calories ( flour )? Assuming the average 2000 calorie diet. that's 20-25% of your NET carbs, in 3.5-5.5% of your calories.. the rest of your food is going to need to be much lower carb to fit it in a low carb plan like these.. At 50-75 grams a day.. simply lower carb.. it won't be an issue, most likely.

Third.. only 70 or 110 calories per tortilla. So assuming a 2000 calorie diet and 3 meals, you eat 667 calories a meal.. if a tortilla is 110 calories, you need to stack 567 calories in it, or on the side. You could slather on some mayo, add bacon, but not a lot of meat can go into one of these tortillas, and beef, or chicken is not going to give you 567 calories. You will REALLY have to work to up the calories in a tortilla.. or have to find something high calorie to add, like macadamia nuts on the side. Something high fat, to get calories. You can add some carbs but they are limited, and along with protein, are only 4 calories a gram. Plus, if you put meat in the tortilla, are you having meat on the side, or adding carbs, when you are worried the tortilla has too many carbs?

Fourth.. fiber. The easy solution to one chicken tortilla not being enough calories is have 2.. simple, until you consider the 15-25 grams of fiber.. is 30-50 grams of fiber going to work for you? One tortilla may be good, but 2 wheat tortillas ( 50 g fiber )? Sounds like you'll be spending the afternoon in the bathroom, especially if you had raspberrries with breakfast, and might be having green beans with dinner.. you could reach 70 g of fiber. Basically you can eat 1 tortilla.. is it worth it? You have to decide that.

Fifth.. ingredients. Yes, the nutrition label matter, but so does what you consume. Let's look at the wheat tortilla.
***Water, Modified wheat starch, whole wheat flour, wheat gluten, vegetable shortening ( interesterified and hydrogenated soybean oils ), wheat gluten isolate.. 2% or less of salt, baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, cellulose gum, distilled monoglycerides, sucralose, caramel color, fumaric acid, calcium propionate, and sorbic acid *****
Maybe it FITS into your carb count, but should you really be eating all that? A few are identifiable.. water of course, then the next 3 are simply wheat. Hydrogenated means TRANS fats.. interesterified?? The rest are not food. they bind it, color it, and preserve it, so you like the color, it doesn't fall apart, and you like the taste.. a little salt and sucralose!! Plus it can sit on the shelf for weeks. Yummy.

Sixth, and last.. Cravings. One HUGE reason to do low carb, is to get into ketosis, and get rid of cravings. Yes, someone will say they did low carb and still had cravings. But most people once in ketosis, enjoy never feeling hungry/craving foods. This is usually by staying under 20-25 grams of carbs.

The problem is, you can trigger cravings while eating far less than 20 grams of carbs a day, and this may be why some " low carbers " DO have cravings.. they eat foods they have reactions to. Most low carbers omit wheat, flour, other grains, as well as other trigger foods. If you eat something which triggers cravings for you, even if it is only 5 grams, you protection against the cravings will disappear, and you will probably go on a binge. WHEAT and CORN are HUGE trigger foods, and in these tortillas.

If these don't trigger you, then you can possibly eat them, and not get cravings.

When you say low carb.. what you mean by that matters. It started as a medical diet, then people used it to cut cravings, and be able to eat the proper number of calories.. and types of carbs mattered a lot more. NET carbs started being thrown out there, and manufacturers figured out how to manipulate food labels, with sugar alcohols, and added fiber, allowing people to think higher carb foods were OK.. and for some it is.. when you are diabetic, they basically halve your carbs, and you feel better, and usually lose some weight.. if you don't have a medical condition, or get craving from wheat and flour, or lose at 100 g of carbs a day.. after all, people lose weight on 250 grams of carbs a day.. people lose on other diets.. so 100 is " low " carb.

So it matters what your goals are.. how low in carbs, how you count them, the food you think is OK to eat, how you put meals together, and make a menu.. what you will NOT eat, as well as how much fiber you think you need, and whether you have cravings.

I count TOTAL carbs, stay between 0-10 grams a day, eat just eggs, fats, meats, and water. I usually get NO fiber, and I think this food is absolute junk, which would cause me cravings, and kick me out of ketosis.

BUT.. the only thing that matters is you think about it, and decide if they are OK for YOU, based on your level, and style of low carb. These are just areas I hope help you decide, and if you do decide to eat them, consider some of the issues, like extremely high fiber... so you won't mess up you stomach for a day.

Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.
