designjessie Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm looking to throw a few "fruit & veggie only" days into my training plan, where I would also avoid or limit really starchy veggies (sweet potatoes, corn, winter squash). My question is, should I also exclude or limit beets and carrots on these days? I find conflicting info on other websites. Thanks in advance for your input!--Jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I think if you can eat enough cooked carrots and beets to negatively impact your 'low calorie' day, then you have a bigger stomach than pretty much everyone else! Even I can only put about a pound of carrots in me at any given time, and that's not many calories at all. Plus they have a million good nutrients in them. So I would say to eat them!

C.O. Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I 2nd that, great info. Beets and carrots are both so loaded with nutrition and low in carbs/fat/cals that, yeah, you can basically eat them both all day with the results being positive ones. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
