Carrots - good or bad for cutting?

[conan]

I just finished a cut phase for a contest. I had a half cup of carrots in a salad for dinner every day and it worked just fine for me.

Old school:

Last month veggies limited to a daily very large all greens salad with flax seed oil and red wine vinegar dressing. 1/2 grapefruit pre workout.

Last week add a yam/sweet potato to each meal.

Sorry, IMO sugar is sugar when it come to fructose and glucose it is high complex and will spike blood sugar. Avoid carrots like the plague when cutting. LOOK AT ME! I KNOW ABOUT CUTTING!

Agree. OP asked about getting cut and shredded. That to me says extreme, contest-prep level cutting, not just weight loss in general.

So I am going with Old Supe as the most accomplished and respected actual competitive bb'er to speak up, whose post was obviously about that degreee of extreme cutting about which the OP appeared to be asking.

Got a question.

I watched the "Raising the Bar" video on Youtube called "The 6 foods that work". I think the guy was talking about contest prep, almost positive he is. On his list are bananas and sweet potato, but no carrots. What I don't get is how bananas can be on there but you guys are sweating carrots?

Who are "you guys?"

Eat your carrots; they're good for you.

I felt Ironwill's signature was appropriate in this thread...

and yes, old thread is old

I eat about 1/2 cup of baby carrots every day. I have never had any trouble cutting while eating them. Granted - I have never tried to get as lean as OS.

Cutting right now and have carrots and peppers packed in my lunch.

Carrots are literally like 170 cals for a pound and the one guy on the thread that has Abs eats carrots. I think case closed.
