[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 1525715, member: 6467"] It depends on your approach to diet and exercise and what medication you are on (if any). People trying to eat very few carbohydrates (20 grams a day or less) would consider that to be quite high. I assume the figure you are quoting is "carbohydrates per 100 grams"? Edit: I think you need to step back a bit and ask a broader question, about how to count carbohydrates and what to focus on in food labels. 15 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams is medium carbohydrate. So better for you than bread, pasta, rice, chips and all those really carby things. I'm just trying to work out what would be an average portion. If you had, say 200 grams (30 grams of carbohydrates) as the protein part of a meal along with plenty of leafy vegetables and some butter then that would not be a bad main meal. Certainly good compared to Tortilla Wraps at 53 g carbohydrates per 100 g or 35 g per tortilla wrap. Generally I try to aim for less than 10 g carbohydrates per 100 g but this is not always easy. Read around the site and you will find plenty of nutritional advice. Edit 2: [USER=94045]@Bluetit1802[/USER] seems to have tracked down your product which is just over 33 g carbohydrate per 100 g so not as high as the tortilla but still pretty high if you eat more than a little. It is the total amount of carbohydrate in the meal that matters so if 45 g is a satisfying portion size then you could use that without going too carb heavy, as long as there is nothing else in the meal which is heavy in carbs.
