What is a low calorie way to make a bean/tofu burrito?


I use lowfat (only 90 calories) tortilla and I use light tofu....I also put salsa and cheese on it...is that a lot of calories?

to cut down the calories then don't make the "burrito" on a tortilla, INSTEAD put the beans/tofu/salsa on 2-3 large lettuce leafs, it taste just as good :O)!!
but if the tortilla is 100%whole grain/whole wheat..in that case it's not so bad and eating it wouldn't hurt.
you shouldn't add cheese to it, add other things to it like more veggie to it like diced onion/pepper/cilantro/tomato/shrdded carrots/etc to it instead..


have a good meaaaaaal xoxoxoxo!

The only thing that might be a lot of calories is the cheese. The rest is very healthy and good for you, with the exception of the fact that one burrito of this type is probably not enough calorie-wise for a healthy meal...depending on how much tofu and salsa and beans you're using. If you're using a lot then I'm sure you're fine.
