If you are struggling to get the carbs in, choose the denser sources such as rice or potatoes. If you are in a deficit, choose volume sources such as the squashes or other non-starchy veggies to help fill you up. Many of these have vital micronutrients such as vitamins A, C and some B’s and minerals such as potassium and manganese.
Right now, two of my favorite carb sources are white rice and spaghetti squash, but butternut and winter squash season is here!
