Yep, its summer and we're all concerned with looking our best in few clothes. Carbohydrates are our main source of energy and are going to help you work harder to look stronger and leaner this summer. The American Dietetic Association recommends 45-65% of our diet be carbohydrate! Look for non-processed, high fiber carbs to add a nutritive punch to your diet. Some good choices include:
Whole Fruits: (not fruit juice): apple, apricots, avocado, banana, berries, citrus fruits, canaloupe, peaches
Vegetable: asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, snow peas, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes
Legumes: peas, beans, lentils
Nuts and seeds: almonds, sunflower, flaxseeds
Whole grains: brown rice, whole oats and breads, cereal or crackers made from whole grain
