hi all,
I would just like to know what the differences are (advantages/disadvantages) between veggies and starchy things like cereals. before u all answer about sugars and fiber and GI - i mean comparing veggies to things like wholemeal cereals, those which are even lower in sugar and GI than veggies (and honestly taste a million times better). besides the vits /minerals u may get from veggies and not cereals (although many cereals have all these added), is one better than the other??
for a basic example : butternut. its low in GI (around 45), has about 25g carbs/serving, around 5-8g sugar,, no fat, little protein, and about 2g fibre/serivng. if u compare that to letsay bran flakes. a serving for the same amount of carbs is about 1g sugar, no fat, and about 8-10g fibre. most of the cereals I get are lower in sugar and GI and higher in fibre than most vegetables! are veggies still better for some reason?
