Does a standard 12" tortilla have more grams of carbohydrates than a 12" hero/sub/grinder etc type of roll? I didn't think so but I checked various carb counters and they apparently say that a 100 gram tortilla has like 50-60 grams, while a roll will have anywhere from 25 to 40 grams. Is this correct? It can't be!

Re: Dave

You need to check the label. Not all tortillas and rolls are made the same.

Are you in Induction, as your profile info says?

I guess that is the default for new postings. I am actually in OWL and have been for months! I am close to my goal but I think I will make a new goal soon.

It's hard to read the label for a tortilla that you get in a restaurant. I would have thought that if I ordered a wrap instead of a full sandwich, it has to be less grams of carb.

Re: Dave

I would rather order something other than a wrap in a restaurant, to be sure what I eat.

It really depends what kind of tortilla it is... What kind of roll it is... How big is the roll...

Your best bet is to check the USDA database: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/

That's why I wouldn't order one!

Re: Dave

You say the tortilla ia 100 grams. How heavy is the roll? They could be giving carb counts for something like a dinner roll, not a hamburger bun.
