glad you asked that....I have looked before and didn't find an exact answer...there are 3 or 4 different kind and while I don't LOVE all of them, they do make for an interesting change of pace...my only problem with them is that they are part of the oprah plan and I tend to avoid anything to do with her money making machine!
hows that for a reason not to buy something!!!!! |

I eat them based on the nutrition requirements for bread.
"...choose whole grain products that have 3 grams of fiber or more per ounce."
One Flatout LIGHT Original is 1.9 oz, so I consider each one TWO starch/grain servings. Each serving must have 3 grams of fiber... there are 9 grams in one Flatout, so one half meets the minimum requirement. The only flour in them is whole wheat. There's added oat fiber... that's why they have 9 grams of fiber each. Vital wheat gluten is what makes them soft and pliable even tho they are whole grain.
Not all of the Flatouts meet the whole grain and/or fiber requirements. Check the website or packaging. |

:( So I messed up by eating a whole one?
I was worried I was making a mistake. |

No... you didn't mess up by eating a whole one, just consider it two servings. How many starch servings did you have today, other than the Flatout? The new Supercharged book suggests we have 3 to 4 servings from the starch list per day. That's up from the 2 to 3 servings originally.
Besides, the whole thing only has 90 calories for those 9 grams of fiber. That's a good ratio for a whole wheat product. AND, no sugar except one gram of sugar alcohol. They don't have high fructose corn syrup, saturated fat or trans fat, either. |

That was my only serving of starch I think...
Today I had, hard boiled egg, cand bacon, taco salad with refried beans and veggies, and then the flat out pizza...
I'm still trying to get the hang of all this, this is my 2nd day on P2 |

| It's not a big deal SBTTC. Phase 2 is a learning process. Now you know. You might want to check out the thread on transitioning to Phase 2 (in Phase 2 FAQ). Lots of helpful info there. |

| Jena - have you seen the kid size ones? I may go buy a pack of those - although it means a trip to WalMart....they do make a tasty "pizza-ish" kind of base. |

Thanks, I have read it, and keep going back to it, it's just a lot to absorb, and remember. P1 almost seemed easier! |

Thanks, I'll have to see if they have those, or I could just half of these right? As I am trying to have only one serving of grains/day.
I'm doing so good, and I just don't want to mess this up. 13 more pounds and we can start fertility treatments... :D :D |

| 1 ounce (or 30 g) is one serving of grain. So that's how you figure how much of something is one serving. Since the wraps noted above are pretty much 2 oz, then they are 2 servings. If there are smaller ones that are closer to 1 oz, then those would be one serving. |

I'm not in the majority of old-timers on this one....and only answering for what I personally do with similar products...not the official answer.
There are 90 calories in one, but that includes 9 grams (36 calories) of protein (I just checked the nutrition facts on the website. I knew there'd be a good amount of protein, because of the wheat gluten). So, I would count one as just 1 serving of starch, and reduce the rest of my protein in the meal a little, because of the protein in the flatbread. |

The "mini" ones for kids don't meet the requirement for fiber. I'd stick with the Flatout LIGHT Originals and either do what Fab said (I tend to agree with this) or have 1/2. They are huge, so having 1/2 would still be enough for a good size wrap or pizza serving if you added plenty of veggies.
I like to use these to make egg wraps in the morning. I cook my eggs (hard or it's too messy) with veggies like onion, tomato, green pepper and spinach...occasionally I add a little rf shredded cheddar... and then wrap them in a Flatout. To heat the Flatout I fold it lengthwise and lay it over the middle of my toaster so the ends hand down into both sides... toasting it makes the outside crispy and the inside hot and steamy. Just unfold, fill and roll. Fast, portable, filling and very yummy. |
