For anyone who considers themselves on a low carb diet. What Are the foods highest in carbs you consume? And in what quantity do you consume them? My own strategy is to consume foods which are the highest in carbs earliest in the day.
sweet potatoes-40 grams of carb per serving
bananas (I don't consume these the same day as sweet potatoes)-29 grams per serving
Avocados (depending on the size)-15-20 (I think?) grams per single avocado.
String beans-8 grams per serving.
Dark chocolate-2 grams per cube, so anywhere from 6-10 grams per serving, depending on how much I eat.
Tomato paste-6 grams carbs per serving (this one is difficult because I often have 2 servings at a time)
The rest of the food I consume through out the day and later in the day are very low in carbs, such as eggs, which typically contain 1-2 carbs per egg (I eat about 8-10 a day), cheese, -1 carb per serving, depending on what kind of cheese, butter, olive oil, coconut milk (2 grams per serving), shrimp, other kinds of fish, heavy cream, whey protein, spinach, kale, white mushrooms (all very low in carb). I try to eat the foods highest in protein and fat toward the end of the day and after work outs.
Feel free to comment on my strategy also.
