Hi friends!
Today I would like to share with everyone some information that I believe will be helpful for those who are really cautions about their carbohydrate intake.
Basically there are 3 categories of food that contains a good amount of carbohydrate although there are more categories I believe:
- Bread Products
- Cereals/Beans/Pasta/Grains
- Starchy Vegetables
So here, let me just inform everyone the food that contains the most and the least carbo so that we can manage our carbo intake in a good manner:
|
Cereals/Beans/Grains/Pasta | Portion Size | Carbs (g) |
Cereal: cooked portion such as oatmeal | ½ Cup | 15 |
Dried Beans/legumes/lentils as prepared | ½ Cup | 15 |
Pasta: cooked | 1 Cup | 45 |
Rice, cooked | 1 Cup | 45 |
Starchy Vegetables | Portion Size | Carbs (g) |
Corn Cob | 6”-9” | 30-45 |
Potato | Avg baked | 60 |
Sweet Potato/Yams-plain cooked | 1/2 Cup | 20 |
Hope all these information will help us in choosing the right amount of carbohydrate for our our intake. As for me, I will make sure that if I want to eat more, I have to exercise no matter what it takes to stay fit and healthy!
