WARNING CARB SLIDE:

I utterly loathe spaghetti squash.

Carbohydrates are everything other than protein or fats and thus all vegetables and fruits as well as all grains are carbohydrates. Legumes are protein and carbohydrates. I wish people would say they avoid “grains” rather than “carbs”, it’s more accurate. Or do you mean all carbs?
**********************************************************************************
My endocrinologist says it's starchy carbs(includes fruits). Leafy greens and such are “free”. Starchy carbs should be no more than 50-60g per day. IE 15 @ each meal (3 meals/da) and 15 at a snack-max. If it ain't green-it counts as a carb. This is tough when potatoes are the only veggie I really like.

I assume these guidelines are for special health conditions.
