Can I start using wraps in the phase II part of the SBD? I was thinking the wholewheat ones...

Hi, At Shaw's Supermarket (Boston area in MA), I found "Joseph's Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Flour Torillas. They are pretty good. Each 8" diameter tortilla is broken down on the Nutrition Panel as follows:

Calories: 70
Total Fat 1.5g (0 saturated)
Cholesterol: 0
Sodium: 380mg
Total Carbohydrate: 11g
Dietary Fiber: 6g (making "Net Impact Carbs = 5g)
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 7g

NOTE: They also have 4% daily value Calcium and 6% daily value Iron

Ingredients: Water, wheat gluten, corn start, oat fiber, whole wheat flour, oat bran, isolated soy protein, soy flour, soy oil, sesame flour, salt, a bunch of preservatives and sucralose (Splenda).

As far as taste goes, they are rather moist, but I assume as they age they will become firmer. They keep in the fridge quite well and also freeze well. If you toast them in the oven, they puff up and can be separated into two, thinner tortillas after cooling a bit. Last night I did that and put them back in, then toasted them until brown and crisp and used them as dippers for guacamole! It was pretty good. I have also made burritos with them and made tuna salad sandwiches with them, plus I have used the warmed tortillas as a dip for hummus.

I hope you can find these in your area. I think they are other brands like this around, too. Good Luck and enjoy!

Well, what's the story on the Subway Atkins wraps? They have like 8 "net carbs". SBD book doesn't really touch upon what "net carbs" are and if they are applicable in the SBD plan!? Any words of advice/suggestions/thoughts? I tried one and the Chicken Bacon Ranch wrap is delicious!
