Are the wraps found in West End Market and Hokie Grill fattening?
This has been a favorite question at the “Ask the Dietitian” sessions. First, don’t label things as fattening or not fattening. All Foods Can Fit into a well balanced diet. Second, the fat content of your wrap will be influenced by what you put in it. Wraps can be a very nutritionally complete meal. Think of the contents; there are meat, vegetable, and grain sources present. Dressings will add extra calories, so keep that in mind when planning your meals. To answer the question, wraps do contain some fat but not an excessive amount for a person who eats a balanced diet. Enjoy!
