Simson’s Pantry wraps

👌P O R T I O N S I Z I N G👌

🤜Time for another product comparison about portion sizing. Today I am comparing 2 different wraps - they are the same brand but different varieties & sizes; one being 'low carb + high protein' at 45g per serve & the other 'lite high fibre + prebiotics' at 70g per serve.

🤜The larger wrap is a little over 1&1/2 times bigger than the smaller wrap. The larger the wrap, the more fillings you can add which depending on your choice of fillings can add more calories. I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad thing - for those among us who want to gain weight - then a larger wrap with more fillings makes perfect sense. However, for those with weight loss in mind, a smaller wrap which limits the amount of fillings would probably be a wiser choice.

🤜Nutritionally the smaller low carb high protein wrap is only 111 calories - which is a bit more than half that of your usual two slices of bread for comparison.

- At 9g of protein, this is also decent for a wrap this size.

- High in fibre, this is going to help you feel fuller for longer & contribute to a quarter of your recommended daily fibre intake.

🤜The Lite + Prebiotic wrap contains 194 calories - nearly double the other wrap.

- Carbs are also a lot higher and again not necessarily a bad thing at all. Carbs are your bodies preferred energy source & not the evil nutrient a lot of people make it out to be.

- Fibre is also high in this which is great to keep you satiated!

🤜So which should you pick? Either is a fine choice depending on your goals! Most of us would be well satisfied with the small wrap, loaded with some lean protein and heaps of salad.

🤜Think about what you put on your wrap - some mayo, full fat cheese & avo will easily add another 200-300 calories. Again, nothing wrong with that - but I am just providing caloric awareness - if weight loss is your goal, a few simple swaps will make it more achievable.
