starchy and fibrous vegetables Options

[Seeker]

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.

Hi lance

technically (if you want to split hairs)
they are starchy carbs, if you go
by the textbook definition.

however, they ARE vegetables
and its easier for simplicity to
lump vegetables into the fibrous
category becuase I would throw in
carrots or peas into the same
category as broccoli, asparagus
salad veggies and so in in
terms of nutritional value, low calorie
density and effect on body composision

when youre eating nutrient dense,
low calorie density natural veggies
you are always on the right track

one possible exception is corn, which
should definitely be put in the starchy
carb category -- it is much higher
in calories.. still natural, but definitely
in starchy carb category by definition
of the bffm program

have a great week and let me know how
else I can help
