Carrot Question

[biggurl27]

Can I eat a carrot a day without the natural sugars interferring with my comp prep?

2guns you know what you can do with yours.

Not sure on the sugars, however carrots are one of the negative foods ie: it takes more calories to chew it than you actually get from it. Just fills you up bit.

i read an article in a local newspaper on a figure girl who competed in the amatuer section @ the elite show this year, then saw her at supermarket bout 2weeks later-she told me jo stewart did her nutrition-and it said in the article from 8 weeks out she was no longer allowed carrot because of the sugarcarbs component, just had brocolli instead

Hmmm Jo Stewart is my nutritionist and was munching a carrot the other day so I thought it should be all good. I better ask her or she might smack my bum! :shock:

I tend to steer away from then the closer to comp I get - carb factor. But, if your happy with the 5.4grams of carb/100 gram (98Kj) then go for you life - much away!

I think you will find the only thing that takes more cal to metabolise than the cal's it contains is water. Not sure where you got the negative foods thing from.
