Heres my RAP on WRAPS....
A wrap is bound to be a lower-calorie choice than a deli sandwich, right?
Unfortunately, that's not necessarily - or even usually - the case! You don’t have to search hard to find a few wraps that contain more than a day's worth of fat and sodium.
A wrap can be interesting and a delicious addition to a healthful lunch, if you follow these tips...
Consider halving it. Sharing with a friend or saving half for the next day is a great way to get the wrap you desire with-out going overboard. Get the sauces and dressings on the side. Remember the creamy sauces and dressings can contribute a substantial amount of calories and fat. Ask to have yours on the side so you can use it sparingly as a dip before each bite. You'll end up eating much less. I would forgo the sauces and dressing altogether and just go for a dijon mustard!
Be a detective. Terms like "crispy" are a dead give away for deep-fried filling. And prepared tuna and chicken salads usually contain more artery-clogging mayonnaise than homemade!
If you find the urge to "rap" - just try wrapping it all up in lettuce!
