Ready for some Saturday morning fun? Mr. Divabetic‘s cat-friendly cartoon, Carb Kitty, makes counting carbs easy.Between the potato salad, the hamburger buns, and the strawberry shortcake served at the cookout on July 4th, you may not realize how many carbohydrates you’re eating. Carbohydrates (“carbs”) can be counted 2 ways: by grams or by carb choices. Remember: 1 carb choice = 15 grams of carbohydrate.
The foods highest in carbs are high in starch or sugar. This includes anything made with flour or sugar, grains, foods with added sugar, and starchy vegetables such as potatoes and corn. Most processed foods are high in carbohydrates. Examples of low carb foods are proteins such as meat and eggs, most vegetables, low sugar fruits (such as strawberries), soy beans, and some dairy products.#carbkitty
