> What do you think fruit and vegetables primarily are, if not carbohydrate?
I wouldn’t discount how much easier it is to eat heaps of grain based foods, even without sauce or extra seasoning. Last I checked, a cup of cooked rice has about the same amount of carbs at 3-4 cups of frozen blueberries. I can eat 3 cups of plain cooked white rice like it’s nothing, but 3 cups of blueberries takes some work — I know because, during some experimentation with my diet, that was my meal: 1.5 lb 95% lean ground beef, 3 cups blueberries, 3 cups broccoli.
