Which Fruits Have the Most Carbs for Healthy Energy?
Fruits may be off the menu for people who focus on eating protein and following a low-carb diet for weight loss. But they’re missing out on important health benefits, dietitians say. “People are scared of carbohydrates,” confirms registered dietitian Natalie Rizzo, nutrition editor for TODAY.
“But not all carb-rich foods are created equal.” Carbs are “the most efficient fuel source for our brain, our nervous system and for our muscles during exercise,” registered dietitian Caroline Susie previously told TODAY.com.
Fruits, which can be full of carbs, are a healthy and necessary part of the diet, Rizzo notes. They provide energy for daily activities and workouts, plus important nutrients for overall health.
