The humble tortilla wrap can hold more filling than a regular sarnie but contains far fewer calories (depending on what you put in it, of course). The wholewheat version in this Greek-inspired recipe ups the health stakes by providing a hefty hit of low-GI slow-release carbohydrates, which will keep you feeling full for longer and help you avoid the temptation to snack in the afternoon. As one of the leanest, protein-packed meats available, the chicken in this wrap is also ideal for fat loss.
