It isn't and I didn't. What I actually said was it may help you hit your protein macros on a lower calorie allowance compared to using rice or bread as a carb. I then said that vegetable replicas such as cauliflour "rice" etc was low calorie and low carb. Hope that clarifies itkristenveganvixen wrote: »My issue with them is simply portion control- I found when I weighed my rice I'd probably be having double what a recommended portion size was- yikes! They are fine in moderation imho and just be careful to weigh them.
As an alternative you could try higher protein grains like quinoa, spelt etc which helps hit your macros on a lower calorie allowance, or low carb low cal vegetables masquerading as carbs such as cauliflour "rice" and courgette "pasta" (using a spiraliser tool) and beansprout "noodles" HTH x
I wouldn't call Quinoa and Spelt "low calorie" at all.

Because within the context of a meal it is meaningless...

It's hardly a massive amount like a protein shake but every little bit helps when you are working with a very low calorie allowance surely.

Myself Ive pretty much quit eating bread, but I enjoy my steel cut oats. I quit bread because I quit PB and J sandwiches (only ones I ever ate) way to many of them. I will still have a few rolls and butter with a nice family dinner or something special occasion but that is it.0

That is an incorrect definition of what a complex carb is. Fiber itself is a complex carb, but since you can't really digest it all that's left are the simple carbs in the fruit, which are glucose, fructose, etc.
Which makes me wonder, why did you choose the link to "yourdictionary.com" which is the fourth result down instead of the first result when googling "complex carbs" which leads to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/imagepages/19529.htm instead?0 -

It's just a terminology issue. From Wikipedia:
Nutritionists often refer to carbohydrates as either simple or complex. However, the exact distinction between these groups can be ambiguous. The term complex carbohydrate was first used in the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs publication Dietary Goals for the United States (1977) where it was intended to distinguish sugars from other carbohydrates (which were perceived to be nutritionally superior).[29] However, the report put "fruit, vegetables and whole-grains" in the complex carbohydrate column, despite the fact that these may contain sugars as well as polysaccharides. This confusion persists as today some nutritionists use the term complex carbohydrate to refer to any sort of digestible saccharide present in a whole food, where fiber, vitamins and minerals are also found (as opposed to processed carbohydrates, which provide energy but few other nutrients). The standard usage, however, is to classify carbohydrates chemically: simple if they are sugars (monosaccharides and disaccharides) and complex if they are polysaccharides (or oligosaccharides)
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate#Classification )

Simple, complex has always been a bone of contention with me because it really has no applicable meaning as it relates to nutrition.0

People want simple to mean bad and complex to mean good (as they define it), so you get idiots misusing it all the time (usually confusing it with refined vs. less refined, but the same people quite often hate potatoes, which are unrefined in many uses so it gets even weirder). Complex are just starches (the chemical chain of which they are made up is more complex) and simple just, well, simpler sugars, which is where the calories in fruit come from.
It doesn't have anything to do with how fast something is digested or the current obsession with the GI/GL.
Walter Willett in Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy (which I don't agree with in some respects, but which is a pretty good example of mainstream thought by nutrition experts) dismisses the simple/complex distinction as a real one chemically but completely irrelevant to nutrition and notes that your body treats complex carbs like potatoes and white bread (starches) basically like sugars. (Willett would completely agree with those who say that fiber matters or that whole grains are better, of course.)
That people bend over backwards to try and make the simple/complex distinction mean something nutritionally is just comical. The definition on the page cited above is inconsistent with the lists of foods given, even.0
