Compare preparations
The same food, prepared differently. Cooking removes water (so calories per 100 g rise), adds fat (so they rise further), or both.
| Preparation | Calories | Protein | Carbohydrates | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|

What actually changes the number
Flour tortillas are 297 kcal per 100 g, and size is everything: a 6-inch taco tortilla is 45 g (135 kcal), a 10-inch burrito tortilla 70–90 g (210–270 kcal). The wrap is often the biggest single item in a burrito.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of flour tortilla as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
