When it comes to lunching, I’m always looking for low-carb, high-protein meals that don’t leave me clamoring for a snack 30 minutes later. As a kid, tuna fish was always a favorite, but I forgot about it as an adult… until now!

The protein in these flavor-packed wraps means I’ll stay energized and fuller for longer, and the few carbs means I can have a handful of pretzels on the side. Can you say win-win?
