Where did 631 come from given the above?
Hi, Misty! As Kristin mentioned previously, the vast majority of the calories in this dish come from the bacon, about 400 calories for 3oz bacon. We calculate our nutritional information from the USDA nutrition database.
That would depend on your nutritional needs and hunger level. Generally with Diet Doctor recipes, 1 serving is intended to be 1 meal. If you find that you're still hungry after a meal like this, try adding some more protein; you could even add a fried egg to the wrap.
Whatever works, right? :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Different components of this dish will last different lengths of time The filling will last longer than the lettuce or the avocado, so it may be best to prep the filling and then get the lettuce and avocado ready when you need to serve them.
