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. |

haha, peas are starchy i think now
the rule i had heard was that green veggies were normally full of fiber and that most things grown under the ground were full of carbohydrates |

Just looking up some nutrition values...
1 c carrot: 3.7 g fiber, 0.7 g starch 1 c peas: 9 g fiber, 7 g starch 1 c summer squash: 2.5 g fiber, 1.5 g starch 1 c winter squash: 5.7 g fiber, 8 g starch In short, carrots, peas, and summer squash are more fibrous, winter squash is more starchy. -------------------- |

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.

QUOTE 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 tom ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Venuto, NSCA-CPT, CSCS Author of "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" Rated Number One Fitness e-book by Clickbank.com Rated Number One Diet e-book by Clickbank.com tomvenuto@burnthefat.com Lose body fat quickly and easily without drugs, without supplements and without screwing up your metabolism: www.burnthefat.com Burn The Fat Members Only Site, Forum And Support Community (coming Summer 2006) http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com The hottest fitnes blog on the web: http://www.BurnTheFatBlog.com Tom Venuto.Com - The Honest Fitness Site http://www.tomvenuto.com |
