ok, I can't believe I'm asking this question....but here goes.....

Other than sweet potatoes or white potatoes, what are some choices for higher carb/low protein? Even with eating 4-5 veggie servings per day, I'm struggling to get my carbs HIGH enough while keeping my protein to the lower end of my range. Today I even had a slice of bread (which I haven't had in well over a year) and although it added 12 gms of carb, it also added 3 gms of protein.

I think I need some ideas for higher carb items (10-15 carbs per serv) that have relatively no protein. I feel so bizarre even asking the question!

Next month when my protein drops it will be even harder to figure out.


Here's where my carbs & protein came from today...
