Dumb carb question
Posted on 1/22/18 at 1:07 pm

Are they all the same? Do i count the cargs from bell peppers and eggplant the same as i would from bread? I am eating high protein, and like to flavor with bell peppers and onions. They have carbs, so i was wondering if that will hurt if i am trying to keep my carbs low.

they are all broken down to glucose, so i count them all the same, but i also do flexible dieting(IIFIYM)
others might do it differently. Of course complex carbs usually have fiber and will make you feel fuller, so you will get more bang for your buck.

It is a fun question taken from multiple angles. The carbs in veggies are digested slowly if at all due to the high amount of fiber in them. While bread has the ability to be digested as a much quicker rate, depending on the type of bread. This faster rate raises your blood glucose faster in response.
In other words, unless you have some sort of rare condition, adding bell peppers and onions won't kill you.

yeah, i was pretty much aware of this... and knew it was a dumb question. But my fitness pal was showing me getting 50g carbs a day, and i literally eat nothing but meat, eggs, and veggies. So i was hoping i wouldnt have to give up the peppers and onions to get down to around 25 carbs where i wana be

Don't over think it. Unless you are doing something like Atkins induction phase, then eat the veggies

naw not doing anything in particular. Just keeping high protein, low carbs. Example of how my days go.
I only eat 1pm-8pm
Weights from 12-1 5 days a week
1:00 protein shake after workout
2:00 2 boiled egg whites
4:00 6oz baked chicken breast
7:00 12oz ground turkey, kale, bell peppers, onions, eggplant, tomato... all mixed in a big bowl with a splash of waldean farms dressing

I'm not on a "low-carb" diet, but that meal plan looks sad. How many calories is that? 1000?

Damn dude, might be time for a reserve diet to get your metabolism right.

Are you counting "net" carbs or total carbs for 50g?
Everyone counts different. If veggies are your only source, I don't think 50g total carbs are hurting.
I'm leaning more towards ketosis should never be a goal, but an effect of eating correctly.
1,000 calories - eat more food as this isn't enough.

Eat some fats man. Switch to 2 whole eggs, swap the turkey for 80/20 beef, try some fatty fish, chicken thighs, etc. Your diet plan looks unappealing and less than healthy IMO. Not trying to be a jerk, just think you should open up to some options here.

Focus on net carbs, which is total carbs minus fiber. Some veggies are pretty high in carbs though, which makes them a pain to incorporate into a Keto type diet for example.

Net Carbs = Total carbs minus insoluble fiber. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the breakdown of insoluble and soluble fiber,

5’6 158 and you’ve had more lean muscle mass than ever before? C’mon man.
