I’ve heard flat out wraps are a great alternative for people is vsg who want to eat something like a sammich or a burrito. But why exactly is it a great alternative. I just wanna know what I should be looking for when shopping for something like wraps to eat.

Fiber one sells wraps that are a whole 80 calories a wrap. They are decently sized and taste great. I think the idea is to look for low fat, low carb, low calorie options. The lower you can get all those numbers, the better.

Found this site, has a huge listing of wraps, clicking on the types brings you to a nutritional panel as well as a "how much would it take to burn this off" section!

Flat out Light... is high protein, high fiber, low cal.

They don't taste too bad:)

I like to wrap up some turkey bacon, avocado, tomato and lettuce in them.

High protein can be helpful for getting your protein in.

High fiber helps you poo...and helps grow a good gut microbiome

They're whole wheat...which is metabolized slower than white flour and doesn't cause hunger spikes. Better glycemic index:)

I found some tortillas at the store that have 14 g of fiber per tortilla.

I love the ancient grains flat out Protein fold its. I put 1.5 oz of turkey and 1 thin slice of cheddar on it and it’s 10 g carbs and 20something protein. I can’t eat the whole thing so it gets broken up into two meals.

I love them because they’re low carb- only 10 grams I think for the fold it, high protein variety- I was a huge sandwich person before surgery so these are a great alternative for a post surgery lifestyle. The carbs are low, the calories are low. They don’t taste awful and you can toast them! I toasted one and added a tablespoon of peanut butter to it for breakfast and it was amazing.

I like La Tortilla Factory - Low Carb Tortillas (Traditional Flour). It tastes identical to a regular flour tortilla.

Yeah, but these taste like normal tortillas

Thank you for posting this. I tried a low carb wrap about two months ago and I couldn't finish two bites. I put scrambled eggs in it. It was a low carb wrap, I forgot the brand but it wasn't soft but rather hard.

The whole wheat version has an unpleasant aftertaste.

Hey everyone. I tried this wrap today. It was actually good. I put two ounces of sliced chicken breast, fat free ranch, and some lettuce. I actually ate the whole thing. I feel guilty because I am trying to stay low carb so yeah, I am scared of food.

90 cals

15 carbs.
