One serving contains a full 27 grams of protein and only 6 grams of carbs, which is significantly less than regular pasta. Wraps are another wheat or bread type product that need to be compared carefully as some contain very high amounts of carbs. Items highlighted in Redcan be eaten, but with caution due to the high carb amounts and/or white flour which covert to glucose much faster than wholegrain/wholewheat alternatives Product Tortilla wraps can vary vastly in nutritional value. Some can be much higher in carbs and many are made with refined white flour which many GD mothers may find more difficult to tolerate.

I created Gestational Diabetes UK as a GD Mum, for other Mums. I’m dedicated to providing information on gestational diabetes, from diagnosis through to birth and beyond. Bagels are very high in carbs making them a bread item that is very hard to tolerate and risky to try. If you’re craving a bagel, then the best alternative that is worth trying is the Warburtons Protein Thin Bagels. Each 60g Warburtons Protein Thin bagel contains 23.5g carbs, 8.5g protein and 2.8g fat. They are suitable for Vegans and can be found in selected ASDA, Tesco and Morrisons stores. Protein bread is worth trying and will still need pairing, however, if you struggle to tolerate these then move on to better alternatives that are mentioned above. Bagels In this table below I have compared many of main brand larger tortilla wraps so you can find ones which are lower in carbs and higher in protein and fat. Please note the nutritional information shared below is per wrapand wrap sizes can vary. I have only compared larger sized wraps, not mini versions:If you struggle to find the bread mentioned above, I’ve compiled a comparison chart for bread, flatbreads and sandwich thins showing some popular brands. They are sorted by carbohydrate amount, but it is important to also take into account the protein, fat and fibre content too. I have focused on serving sizes rather than just nutritional information per 100g as with slices of bread we tend to eat 2 smaller loaf slices or 1 larger loaf slice. Where the loaf is a smaller size, 2 slices have been calculated and per individual item for flatbread or sandwich thins. Minimum life based on 'use-by' date of product. Average life based on last week's deliveries. Life guarantee shown based on delivery tomorrow with the Life guarantee starting the following day.
