Do the carbs in vegetables count?

[6weeksillbready]

Hey, i eat like 400-500g veg a day which has 40g carbs or something. Do the carbs in veg count? Thanks.

No.... You subtract out dietary fiber carbs as they aren't used up by the body.

So i can eat as much veg as i like and not gain bodyfat from it??? Sounds good to me. Thanks

Well there is a point where enough is enough haha, but green vegitables are full of soo many good things and the carbs are relativley low since the fiber in them. They keep your body operating as normal.

Yes, you count the carbs minus the fiber.

When would you say enough is enough as i eat lots and i mean lots of veg!!!

You should count the net carbs(total carbs - dietary fiber). Therefore(this is completely made up) if a stalk of celery has 6 total carbs, but 3 of those carbs are dietary fiber, you would only count 3 carbs for that serving. Make sense?

Exactly.

Vegetable carbs do count, but the beautiful thing is that you can subtract the fiber leaving you with a 'net' carb count. However, the same would not apply when eating starchy vegetable like peas or corn.

Ok, everyone has just repeated the exact same thing... I think we understand now, subtract dietary fiber from overall carbs = net carbs.

Why ?

[nakkiz]

Why ?

Because they have a large amount of carbs and next to no fiber

You psyically wont be able to eat enough vegtables to get fat, eat away! Infact in asian countries calorie counting and going hungry to loose weight is unheard of and they eat plenty of carbs, e.g. rice, the reason is here in the west we make everything so calerie dense, pizza is loaded with fat and simple carbs chocolate is loaded with fat and sugar etc compare that to vegetables rice and some meat and u can see why they eat as much as they pleas eand never get fat. You definitely can eat as many veg as you like and if anyone says different they are ignorant !
