Are tortillas good for weight loss?

Flour tortillas are calorie-dense at 306 cal/100g, denser than bread, because the dough carries added fat. A burrito wrap alone is 358 calories before anything goes in it. Small corn tortillas at 50-60 calories each are the better choice if you want the format without the load.

What nutrients are in tortillas?

Flour tortillas provide 8.2g protein, 49.4g carbs, 8g fat, and 3.5g fiber per 100g. They carry 736mg sodium (32% of the daily value), 3.6mg iron (20% DV) and 146mg calcium, since the flour is usually enriched. The sodium is the number to watch if you eat more than one.

Flour vs corn tortillas: which is healthier?

Usually not, once you match the weight. Flour tortillas are 306 cal/100g against white bread's 266, because tortilla dough carries added fat. A large 10-inch tortilla is 220 calories, more than two slices of bread at about 159. A wrap only looks lighter because it is flatter.
