    Okay, first off, I apologize if this has been asked/answered but this eye strain headache is making it difficult to find...sorry!

    My question is, when the recommendation is made to to get 50% (or insert appropriate amount here) of calories from carbs per day, does this include vegetables and fruit as well as grains? Or only grains?

      Ideally you should have a mixture of simple, complex, and fiber.

      Every single food is can be broken down into protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Fruits are carbs, vegetables are carbs, grains, starches, sugars are carbs
