Hello...
I'm currently monitoring my caloric and food intake. Currently my goal breakdown for the end of the day should be 1800-2000 Cal, 30% Fat, 20% Protein and 50% Carbs.
Meeting the calorie requirements is not an issue, nor is the fat/protein percentage. But I am having problems NOT going over in the Carb department. For an example, today (after already entering in what I will eat for dinner), I am at 24% Fat, 20% Protein and 56% Carbs, with only having consumed 1300 Cal. Any suggestions of what I can include that ISN'T a carb? I'm having a hard time finding foods that aren't high in Carbs, which brings me to my next question...
Is there a difference between good carbs and bad carbs? What I mean is, if I've eaten 60% Carbs, but 50% of that is fruit or veggies, is that a big deal as compared with if I had just eaten bread or wheat products all day?
Is it ok to over-eat in the Carb department if it is fruit and vegetables?
Thanks for your insight!
