So I've gotten into the habit of eating both a starchy and fibrous carbohydrate with each meal.

On the Internet you can rarely find a list of starchy/fibrous vegetables and when you do the lists usually conflict.

Are carrots, peas, and squash starchy or fibrous? Those are my three main questions.

If anyone has a reliable list of starchy and fibrous vegetables that would also help.

this is the answer i got from a personal trainer/fitniss guru:

QUOTE
Some people consider peas, carrots and squash starchy, but because they are
so low in calories, like all veggies, I wouldn't consider them starchy. I
consider all veggies fibrous and they're perfect for those wanting to lose
weight because 1.) they are very low in calories, yet high in fiber so are
quite filling, 2.) are loaded with vitamins and minerals and other very
beneficial nutrients, and 3.) have almost NO adverse affects on blood sugar
levels like many other carbs do.

The best starchy carbs are those that are natural and not processed
(man-made), such as:
Oatmeal
Yam
Brown rice
Potato
Sweet Potato
Beans
Lentils

I hope this helps and that we have the opportunity to help you with our
program.
