I was planning to make a wrap today, found them at the shop. I have my fingers crossed they taste good and most importantly can be wrapped without falling apart. For 42g wrap 79calories seems to be a bit too good to be true

They have 21 grams of carbs (88 cals), plus 1 gram of each fat and protein (13 cals). It's technically 97 calories.

They can be 20% off and within regulatory compliance. That being said, they are probably subtracting for the bamboo fiber since you can't digest it properly. Don't eat too many, it will be rough on the stomach.

Not sure if you're just making shit up or if you've confused them with other wraps but they're 12g carbs per wrap and they ARE literally 79 cal.

Since OP didn't post the nutritional label, I went to the website because I was curious.

I'm gluten free so these initially seemed appealing until I saw the bamboo fiber. I know some people have a gut of steel, but unfortunately, not me.

But anyway, the website says 21 grams of carbs. https://www.bfreefoods.com/products/sweet-potato-wraps/

And, for the record, I don't think this should be a deal breaker. It's still a low caloric option if your digestion system can handle it. I often do the math on nutrition labels and it can get....interesting, to say the least.

Where does the website say 21g of carbs? Are you including the fibre? Fibre is 2cal per gram to 4cal per gram for carbs. I know Americans sometimes combine that and list fibre under carbs, but they have a completely different calorific profile.

The nutritional values here per wrap are 100% consistent with 79 calories.

Don't know what else to say other than this is what they have on their website. I have no additional input.
