why wraps??

[graciebaby87]

ive seen a few posts about wraps and im not sure if its something im missing but people have said they are not a HEB but no one has said why? so why are they not a HEB? because i thought a wrap was just a healthier version of bread so could probably just be substituted. am i wrong there?

i hate using syns, but wraps are so convenient. its a bit of a bummer hmph.


on the upside, i purchased the 2012 food directory yesterday morning at weigh in. my god, that book is just amazing.

It's due to fibre content. You can work out the syns using 1syn for every 20 cals. I think the ww ones are the best value for syns

Ok. So what about pitta breads? And does a HEB need to have a high fibre content then?

Certain pitta breads qualify-coop and asda
That is the whole purpose of your HEb-it's to ensure you get enough fibre in your diet(and protein on green days)

The WW ones are 5 syns which I think is worth it you could always make the mung bean wraps ... Of course there is the food abuse debate on that one although I only eat them part of a main meal and sw never did get back on it!

But yes the WW ones are nice

I heard Asda ones are no longer HEB and that the website just hasnt been updated yet.

The website has been updated, it;s now the flame-baked ASDA one that is a HEXB. Plus the Co-op one still.

The website isn't full updated yet - it's not showing the WW petit pain yet and there are quite a few other things in the Free Branded Book 2012 that are not appearing online yet. Strangely there is no mention of the asda pitta bread in the book

There aren't any wraps that count as a HEB unfortunately
