peas

[Twist]

why are peas different than other green veggies?

[Twist]

anybody know? I hear things like eat these green veggies but not peas at this time. something like that

[peachfuzz]

a cup of boiled peas has about 25 carbs and 9 grams of sugar

[Twist]

so sugar could be the difference?

[peachfuzz]

only thing i can really think of.

maybe ask nark

[Twist]

who is nark? I am sure people on this board know of the difference because I got the impression from this board. never heard it anywhere else.

[peachfuzz]

For anybody that was wondering about the answer to my peas question...
Nark says that peas have a much higher carb content than the other green veggies.

As per my reply via PM:

Peas are on par with starchy carbs so to speak.

It would be erroneous to utilize 'em in the place of fibrous carbs.

I'd use 'em in pro/carb meals alongside starchy carbs like potatoes, rice, pasta... replacing a portion of your carb allotment with peas/beans.

They'll reduce the GL of the meal and add favorable to both the fiber total and amino profile of the meal.
