Vegetable Carb Sources

Hey,

I was curious, if one were to attempt to convert their carb sources to vegetable and fruit sources, what would be good vegetables to eat with a high carb content to fill carb quotas?
Thanks.

Higher calories vegies....sweet potato, carrots, peas, corn, winter squash...I think that's about it...all the rest have very few calories...including tomatoes

Fruits on the other hand...well....they all have plenty of calories...although strawberries have very few. Higher calorie fruits would be bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, blueberries, there are many more...of course

Legumes.....Pinto beans, Kidney beans, Black beans, etc. High in both carbs and protein.

Those and carrots and artichoke are the only "veggies" I like and will eat! Been working for me!

Personally I wouldn't suggest corn and peas Sara but I was just giving an exhaustive list to answer the question. That being said they're still better than many alternatives so keep that in mind...overall if you plan for them in your macros you'll probably make good gains either way.
