Just re-watched both "Super Size Me" and "Fat Head" and I grabbed this screen shot from "Fat Head" as I find it useful when trying to picture a reasonable and healthy carb load per day.
Bear in mind that the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for carbs (adult on 2,000 calories a day) is 300 grams.. and the plate here has around 100 grams of carbohydrates… there is broccoli and spinach under the peas, apples and carrots…
As we know, even the peas, carrots and apples may cause BG issues for many of us here… so just imagine trying to eat 300 grams of healthy unrefined carbohydrates (as per the RDA) every day.
