Calories in a falafel wrap?!
So I've been looking up the calorie content for a falafel wrap and have been seeing amounts ranging from 400-800!. 400 seems so low but I don't want to believe it's 800!
I realize the actual falafel balls are fried, so the calories obviously add up quickly!.
How much would you say that four falafel balls with lettuce, tomato, mayo, parsley, tahini dressing, and pickles on a pita have!? The pita was rather large!.
Here's a picture of a similar-looking sandwich http://www!.grillmastergrenada!.com/images!.!.!.
Gimme your best guess, please! =D Much appreciated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
I can't tell how big it is, BUT, I buy an 8-inch diameter pita, stuffed with just tahini, lettuce, tomato, and peppers, and it's 425 calories!. Those big pita breads alone are more than 200 calories!. With the mayo and falafel, I can't imagine the entire thing would be less than 600 calories, and probably closer to 700!. :-(
Edit: I checked the calories on the pitapit!.ca calorie calculator (they make pitas very similar to the one you showed me, with 4 falafel balls per pita); it calculated your calories at 674, if you only had 1 tbsp each of mayo and tahini!. Add another 130 calories if you had 2 tbsp of each!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
