Carbs…….?!?
im really confused. ok so i love bread & pasta & cereal and thats basically all i ate. then i cut those out and i lose fat on my sides, belly area and dropped 2 jeans sizes. now im scared to eat those again b/c looking at nutrition labels it says 1/2 cup of pasta is 200 calories, i find that rediculous
-i dont see what the difference is between whole grain pasta/bread..dont they have similiar calories?
-what kind of cereal should i eat? obv avoiding kid cereal, but should it be made out of oats corn or wheat?
how much is too much?
Your calorie intake should be somewhere in the 1600 range. A full cup of spaghetti is 400 calories, you still have 1200 calories to go. A breakfast bar and a glass of skim milk is about 65 grams of carbs, a perfect amount. Two peanut butter or lunch meat sandwiches are also some 200 calories and 65 grams of carbs total.
The key the kinds of carbs. There’s sugary carbs like from soda, chips, or candy, and white bread. These dump sugars into your digestive system too fast and the body can’t metabolise them all so they are stored as fat.
Complex carbs like whole grain spaghetti and bread, have the same amounts of calories. But with whole grains, the digestive system has to work to strip away all the layers in the “whole grain” to get at the sugars. The result is the sugars are released more slowly and the body has time to metabolise them, reducing the chance of gaining weight.
Cereals of oats or wheat is good, corn is more starchy.
