10 High Carb Foods
High Carb Food #5: Potato
Potatoes are among the most popular types of food on the planet. They are regularly used as a main part of meals, and also often found as the main ingredient of snacks. In addition, they are packed with vitamins and fibre, contain no fat and are low in calories. Unfortunately, though, they are also quite high in carbohydrate content.
Depending on the variety (and size), a single potato will contain around 25g of carbs. While these are widely considered to be ‘good’ carbs, they still mean that potatoes are not suitable for people on a low-carb diet. The way in which potato is prepared can also have a significant impact on the volume of carbs within the meal.
