10 Low Carb Vegetables
Vegetable #2: Zucchini
Zucchinis are part of the summer squash family and, in comparison to winter squash, zucchini is very low in carbohydrates. One cup of raw zucchini contains 4 grams of carbohydrates, 1 of which comes from fiber.
In addition to its low carbohydrate amount, zucchinis are high in vitamin C. Just one cup provides 35% of the recommended amount of vitamin C. In addition, due to its fiber content, it can help you feel full for longer and prevent those urges to mindlessly snack in between meals. Moreover, fiber helps with constipation, lowers cholesterol, and fights diabetes. All these benefits make zucchini a powerhouse!
