Sugary Bevarages
Since there is nothing beneficial to sugary drinks, it is best to avoid them. For example, a can of Coke has 39 grams of carbs entirely made of sugars. Therefore, a single sugary soda contains more carbohydrates than a bowl of cereal, bagel, or pasta serving. Flavored water is a healthier option.
Potatoes
Although baked potatoes have a lot of carbohydrates, they are not all bad and do have some nutrition. With 36.6 grams of carbs in a medium-baked potato (173 grams), a potato does have a lot of carbs. However, of all those carbs, 3.8 grams are fiber, 2 sugars, and 30 grams starch. Adding to the healthier benefits of potatoes are many vitamins including Vitamin C, niacin, folate, vitamin B6, manganese, and potassium. The skin of a potato contains higher amounts of fiber and iron than the flesh.
