Good sources of carbs besides bread.......

[emptywallet]

Ok, in my diet the main amounts of carbs come from oatmeal and whole grain bread. Par Mr X's advice I'm going to drop the bread, but I need to replace it with something. I'm really not a big fan of rice. But, i'll eat it if I have to. I'm looking for something kinda quick to fix such as oatmeal. Hell, why can't I just replace all of the bread with oatmeal? Or will the fat content kill me on that?

First, you CAN replace all bread w/ oatmeal, I just don't know how fast you'll get sick of it.

Pasta is a good choice, 15min cooking time.

Yams/sweet potatoes, 5min microwave.

Beans are a GREAT source of fiberous carbs, especially red kidney beans.

I love oatmeal!!! Hell its one of my favorite foods man. Its great stuff!!!!! Beans. Perfect. Thats just the kinda thing I was looking for. Red kidney beans? hmmmm. Sweet Patatoes, good idea, although I think it would be hard to judge how many carbs I'm getting since they arent really devided into servings. How do you feel about brown rice? What about butter beans and blackeyed peas??

I always use sweet potato or yams as well.



There was this breakfast mash I do time to time:

oatmeal (uncooked), applesause (unsweetened), and raisins mixed all up together - sounds odd but very yummy (great for a sweet tooth)

Then just green veggies (spinach mostly) and protien for remaining meals.

Why replace whole wheat bread ?

it has quite a low GI, a lot of fiber and tastes pretty good
