Hello!

I have a special favorite sandwich that I buy at Raleys/Nob Hill Market here in California. It is turkey, cheese, olives, artichoke hearts, garlic (not very much of any of it-it's mostly bread) wrapped in one of those wrap thingys. It's 9.5 ounces and I've been counting it as 10 points but I'm concerned that I may be underestimating. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ask them for the nutrit. info from the Wrap "wrapper" and calculate the points for one piece. You'll be able to tell from each serving minus the size of the bread almost how much other stuff is going into it. Typically, wraps are bigger than we'd like... so try to see the label, or at the very least, have your guy hold it up in front of you so you can eyeball the size! I stay away from them because here in NYC they're always bigger than they need to be and who needs all those calories...

OK. The debate, the guesswork, and the angst is over. I went to my local deli here in NYC just now and as they emptied out the last wrap from the plastic bag it comes in, I asked them to give it to me rather than throw it away.

I have all the Nutritional Info on 11 different flavors of wraps... and, it's not pretty. Now, understand, that the typical NY wrap is probably bigger than most -- but I don't think it is by much -- The average deli size wrap is about 12 or 13 inches in diameter and weighs (blind) 3.5 ounces.

The company whose wrap packaging I have is ALADDIN BAKERS one of the largest on the East Coast.

For the plain and whole wheat, the calories/fat/fiber are 310/9/5; 320/9/5 making them 6 points each.

For the Jalapeno, Garlic Pesto, Spinach, Southwestern, Black bean, Lemon cilantro, Roasted Red Pepper, Caesar, and Sun Dried Tomato, the cal/fat/fiber are 320/9/2, making them all 7 points each -- and of course, THIS IS WITHOUT FILLING.

So there you have it, gang. Bear in mind, it is NOT a low fat item (9 gms of fat in each one) and is a giant opportunity for
overfill. Caveat emptor.
