Thread: Is This a Good Meal or Not??

How many meals do you have a day? Carbs look high. Whats a protein wrap?

how many meals do you eat a day?

How big are you? That is a lot of calories for one meal. They may be better spread out through out the morning.

what are your goals?

Also the fat is quite high, how mant Saturated fats make up that 18g?

Totals are:

Cals 563
Fat 18.5
Carb 96
Prot 56.7

I'm wondering if the fat and carbs are too high.....

There are lots of things that need to be considered:
Your weight, height and bf%
Your goals
How much food you are eating each day
Whether or not this meal fits into your daily intake requirements


Generally - the most important one is if it fits into your day - because, as long as this is based on your goals and your weight/height/body fat then you will be fine.

But there is a bit of fat and a fair bit of protein in this meal... And unless you are massive (with a fair portion of muscle) then you probably do not need that amount of protein in one sitting...

So what is your weight/height and BF%?

The protein shake I had with it should have been one meal right, the other could have been meal # 2....will watch the rules next time.....was hungry and in a hurry.

The wrap is a high fiber high protein wrap (Oroweat Smart & Healthy) $4.49 canadian for pkg. of 6

Cals150
fat 5
Carb 18
Protein 14
Fibre 8

....saturated fat is 4.2 of the 18.5 that I consumed for breakfast
