Wraps made at home can be your biggest ally in eating healthier.  How? 

• You can make your wrap with less fat, calories and preservatives than most of the restaurants on this Calorie King list of popular restaurant wraps
   
• You can control the portion size, sauces, cheese, sodium, etc. of what goes into your wrap
   
• If made in a healthy manner, you can teach your palate to crave the highlights of a well-made wrap (fresh veggies, lean meats, layered textures, little sauce/cheese)
   
• Eventually, chain-restaurant made sandwiches do not appeal to you as much - "value meals" at such places are too high of a cost to your diet goals

Because wraps are a tremendous time and cost saver, they help you to buy and use fresh ingredients on a weekly basis.  Many people identify they don't buy fresh ingredients because they feel they do not have the time to prepare them.  Eating a wrap a few times a week eliminates this concern.
