Super easy and yummy, these low-calorie wraps are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. While not high in calories, they’re super nutritious and flavorful.
Buying wraps from your local fast-food chain can get kind of expensive.
They can do a number on your waistline. And it contains a ton of sodium too.
So to save your wallet and your waistline, it’s best to make your own.
That’s why I’m sharing 6 low-calorie wraps. They’re not only tasty but low in calories too.
1. Chicken Salad Wrap
With traditional chicken salad, you typically use mayo.
However, this chicken salad wrap uses Greek yogurt as a base. Greek yogurt provides a rich, luscious taste – and is healthier too.
You’ll also be using honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice for your dressing.

And the winner in far of the lowest calories is the Spicy Tuna Wrap with Veggies. It contains just 207 calories.
That’s about 300 fewer calories than a Macdonald’s Chicken & Bacon McWrap.
Besides being low in calories, it’s packed with lean protein from the tuna.
It is also low in sodium. In fact, it contains just 291 mg of sodium, compared to 790 mg of sodium in the McWrap.
Now that’s a wrap.
How to Store These Low-Calorie Wraps
For best results, it’s best to eat your wraps as soon as you make them. But life happens, and we can’t always put together a wrap on the fly.
In that case, you can make your wrap in the morning. Then you can pack it to go for that day.
Just be sure to put it in a glass storage container like this to maintain freshness. Or you can use a BPA-free plastic container like this.
You can also wrap your wraps in beeswax wrap like this.
Ingredients to Use to Make Low-Calorie Wraps
Wraps can quickly become loaded with calories. So, it’s essential to use the right ingredients to keep them low in calories.
Here are some ingredients to use to make your wraps low in calories:
- Use grilled or broiled chicken instead of fried chicken.
- You could use low-fat Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise or sour cream
- Use low-calorie tortillas like Mr. Tortilla. They contain just 15 calories per tortilla, and they’re low in carbs. To cut the calories, even more, you can use lettuce leaves or cabbage leaves instead of tortillas.
- Use lots of fresh veggies in your wraps. Veggies, for the most part, are low in calories. The exception is avocado (which is technically a fruit). You can still use avocado but use it sparingly. Limit it to about a 1/3 of an avocado.
- Use lean proteins like chicken breast, tuna, and legumes like beans.
