Which tuna wrap will fit into your diet?
Tuna is a great source of protein and healthy fats. Both fat and protein help you stay full, making tuna a great choice when you're watching your waistline. Here are two tuna wraps that may tempt your taste buds. Roly Poly's rolled sandwiches are usually healthful options. Their Texas Tuna Melt boasts plenty of tasty fillings: tuna salad, melted jalapeno jack cheese, barbecue sauce, onion, bacon, avocado and a side of ranch dressing. Yum! Subway is also known for tasty and healthful fare. Their Tuna Wrap comes in a low-carb tortilla with tuna, American cheese, and veggies like lettuce, tomato, red onion, green peppers and black olives. Two very similar wraps, but only one can be the low-cal winner. Can you pick it?



The Low-Cal Winner
Roly Poly Texas Tuna Melt

Roly Poly offers the diet-friendly wrap that's sure to please your palate. Their Texas Tuna Melt contains 322 calories and only 13.5 grams of fat. Subway's Tuna Wrap may be promoted for the carb-conscious, but at 440 calories and more than twice the fat of its competitor (32 grams), this is one low-carb option that you'll want to avoid. Want to boost the nutrition of your Roly Poly wrap? Opt for wheat instead of white. You'll save a few calories and double your fiber intake to 3.7 grams. If you want tuna from Subway, avoid their 6-inch sub (530 calories) and try their deli style tuna sandwich. Even with cheese, it weighs in at 350 calories and almost half the fat (18 grams).
