Now, let’s be fair: some vegetables are pretty carb-heavy. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and peas are basically sugar delivery systems in disguise. I once ate a whole ear of corn and felt like I’d eaten a candy bar. It’s not bad for you, but it’s not a freebie. If you’re watching carbs, treat them like a side dish, not a main event.
And carrots? People get nervous about carrots because they’re sweet. But honestly, a medium carrot has about 6 grams of carbs. That’s less than a slice of cheese. Don’t let the orange fool you. Just don’t eat a bucket of them.
