The Constitution of Carbs: Not All Are Created Equal

December 31, 2021 Robert Hanson

While many people these days are trying to stay clear of carbohydrates for weight-loss reasons, it’s nearly impossible to do so while consuming any semblance of a “normal” diet — and you shouldn't try to do so. You need carbs in your diet so understand that some carb sources are definitely better than others. 

If you’re counting your carbs, here's a list of recommended foods — in their respective food groups — and how many servings of each food type you should be consuming daily.

VEGETABLES: 3 to 5 servings

  • 1/2 cup of broccoli (Total Carbs = 5g)

  • 1 cup of leafy greens (Total Carbs = 1g)

  • 1 cup of skim milk (Total Carbs = 12.3g)

  • 1 1/2 ounces reduced fat cheese (Total Carbs = 2g)

WHOLE GRAINS: 6 to 8 servings per day

  • 1 sliced whole grain bread (Total Carbs = 15g)

  • 1 oz dry cereal (check nutrition label for cup measurements of different products) (Total Carbs = 18g)

  • 1/2 cup cooked rice or pasta (Total Carbs = 23g)

REFINED GRAINS (aka starches): no more than 2 servings

  • 1 cup white rice (Total Carbs = 45g)

  • 1 flour tortilla (Total Carbs = 20g)
