    La tortilla - cutting

    Hey, these tortilla's almost seem to good to be true.... are one of these really ok to eat with a pro/fat meal, since 8 out of the 11 carbs are dietary fiber?
    and would they cause you to hold water? 11 carbs , 2 fats 50 cals per tortilla

    Low carb tortilla's are perfectly fine for a pro carb meal....the one you descibed had only 3 net carbs (carbs-fiber). Which would have no effect on blood sugar levels. Eat Away!

    Not that great for Pro/Carb unless you are using the wrap for protein, I think they have about 12-15g of protein in them but only 3 net carbs.

    They could be used in a pro/carb meal, they just won't be the carb source. How bout chicken and rice wrapped in the tortilla?

    exactly, they are only 50 cal's each, with about half the cal's coming from protein, so they can be used with most meals.
