We’ve investigated which vegetables are low in carbs – because not all veg is created equal
While carbohydrates are an important part of most people’s diets, if you’re trying to cut down for health reasons you may want to get familiar with which vegetables are low in carbs.
Roxana Ehsani, MS, RD, CSSD, LDNRoxana Ehsani is a board-certified specialist in sports dietetics and a National Media Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise from Virginia Tech and a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Pittsburgh. Below, she gives her advice on what to look for in a multivitamin for women.
“Zucchini is one veggie a lot of people may use in place of noodles,” says Ehsani. “You can easily spiral them into zoodles for a low-carb spaghetti alternative, but they also are a good source of vitamin C.” Spinach is hailed as a ‘functional food’ in a review in the journal Food & Function , which lists the benefits of spinach as “anti-cancer, anti-obesity, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic”. If you don’t like spinach, swap it for other dark green leafy vegetables, such as kale or beet leaves for a similar nutritional profile.
