Great visual comparing carbs in different foods. A heaping plate of veggies can have the same amount of carbs as half of a hamburger bun. What? Crazy, right? And just imagine how long it takes you to chew those veggies vs a highly palatable bun you can probably inhale in seconds.
"You can eat a lot of vegetables before reaching 20 grams of net carbs, even if you add some colorful peppers and tomatoes. Roughly 20 ounces – more than half a kilo – of vegetables, full of other nutrients (low-carb vegetables guide).On the other hand, just one half of a hamburger bun can contain 20 grams of carbs, adding up to the entire day’s ration of carbs on a keto low-carb diet. In that case, regular bread is not really an option. But there are low-carb breads that are much lower in carbs."
Just something to get you thinking about as you probably join friends for happy hour in honor of Cinco de Mayo.
