Wheat tortillas carry 612 mg sodium per 100 g – higher than most breads. At 8 g fat per 100 g, they are fattier than pita or lavash but thinner, creating deceptive calorie density. A large wrap tortilla can weigh 60–90 g while looking thin and light. Portion research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows flat foods are especially hard to estimate.
How should I track Tortilla, wheat?
Tortilla, wheat is a good source of iron. Bakery products like Tortilla, wheat vary more than you would expect — even pieces from the same batch can differ by 25–50 g. Research on portion estimation (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) shows that people are particularly bad at estimating baked goods because size, density, and moisture all vary. The simplest fix: weigh a few pieces with a kitchen scale and you will quickly learn what your usual portion actually weighs. This one-time calibration makes all future logging faster and more reliable.
