I appreciate your breakdown of the calories, fat, sat fat, fiber & sodium contained in these products. Could you please ad carbs to this list. As I diabetic, I would find this very helpful. Thank you.
Yeah...I get the bean burrito with no sauce and no cheese if I am in a pinch and there is nowhere else to eat. There's no way around the salt though. Thanks for the breakdown.

Get the fresco style, it cuts out the fat and calories and is much more flavorful than getting just beans and bread.
