Hello, does anyway know of any foods that are good with carbs but won't kill me in the fat area? I am doing pretty good with everything else just not getting enough carbs.

Thank you,

Jen

    Any fruits or vegetables are great- they are mostly carbs, but healthy ones.
    The carb percentage on this site is really high. You can change your carb/fat/protein percentages (add more protein than fat though), and still be eating a healthy diet.

    Try fruits, whole wheat breads/tortillas, granola, certain cereals, crackers, whole wheat pastas.

    There are tons of healthy bread options out there now. Have a piece of yummy toast for breakfast topped with Laughing Cow cheese.

    Thank you everyone! I will definitely try what everyone has suggested. Hopefully I can get more carbs in my body. I am sure that would help with all the exercising I have been doing. : )

    Thank you,
