They're very similar to egg rolls and spring rolls, but much smaller. If I remember correctly, the fried restaurant spring rolls average 3 points a piece, but I would think lumpia would be about half that. It would be a good guess anyway.

What are lumpia's?

Maybe if you break down the main ingredients you could calculate the points or if it is comparable to something else you can guestimate them?

Oh, hey kaplods, we must have been posting at the same time!

You just answered my question - I've never heard of lumpias.

[kaplods]

They're amazing. I went to a Christmas party were one of the guests brought homemade lumpias. He was from the Phillipines, and he broght them ready to fry and fried them on the stovetop, while we all watched. Oh, they were sooo amazing. The eggroll wrapper is much thinner and crispier than chinese eggrolls, almost phylo dough thin, with seasoned meat and a little veggie (green onion mostly). Mmmmm.

Lumpia is yummy! I have some homemade in my freezer that one of our Philippino nurses gave me.

I would count them as 1/2 of what a normal egg roll would be.
