Some FAQ's:

How much is a serving?

The answer is: serving size can vary. What I eat as a 21 month post-op is a very different amount than a 3 month, 6 month, or 4 year post-op.

For me if the toppings are protein dense like the Philly Cheese Steak Tortilla Pizza above or Meatball or Chicken then I eat 2 wedges and call it a day. If they are lighter just cheeses or pepperoni. I can eat the whole pizza but remember these are 6" fajita size tortilla (not typical size tortillas.) If it's lighter toppings and I'm having a scoop of bean salad or a green salad with it I eat 2 wedges.

My standard line is go with what your medical posse recommends.


What's the nutritional value on (insert Eggface recipe)?

I don't put the nutritional info on my recipes because frankly that can vary so widely. I use full fat cheeses (the good stuff) others may use low fat or (horror) non fat, the % fat on beef, differences in packaged products, etc. will change the info dramatically.

What I do when I need to find the nut info is go to fitday.com type in each individual ingredient, add up those totals and divide by the # of servings I get from the dish. It's not exact but it's close enough for me. I understand sparkpeople and some other sites will give you nut info too but I've not used them.

Where do you get the Mission Carb Balance Whole Wheat Fajita Size Tortillas?

I get mine at Albertson's, Vons, Winco. If you don't have those stores near you the Mission Tortilla web site has a product locator:
