It's your serving size. The original recipe uses two tortillas per quesadilla and then cuts each into 8 pieces, yielding 16 servings. Too little to me, but as a side would work.

Gday and BIG thanks

I would think yielding 16 servings would be too small too

I used the mini tortillas and cut them into four...so how would I be able to figure out the mini ones to the big ones to make sure the protein is higher than the carbs

thanks

GREATLY appreciate Have been doing tremendously well with the protein to carb ratios to date

WHOO HOO!

GREAT!

All I can suggest Mickie, is to read the label information and work from that. What's mini here as opposed to what you have is too tricky for me to extrapolate without the data.If you ate the meal as a salad and left off the tortillas then it would be easy to figure out what adding them in would do to the numbers.
