Starch is the chief form of dietary carbohydrate intake. Unless it's refined, if it's a carb it's probably starch.
I wouldn't call wheat a health food quite like vegetables, but it's tough to get 2,000 calories eating only broccoli.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoMost people aren't vegan, and anyway legumes have more protein density.
- ip26 6y agoHate to break it to you, but the carbs in legumes is also starch. And eating nothing but protein will give you kidney stones.
- im3w1l 6y ago> it's tough to get 2,000 calories eating only broccoli. See, that's what makes it so healthy
- sjwright 6y agoI agree with all of that. Though I won't have a bad word said about broccoli. Lightly stir-fry your broccoli in coconut oil, pinch of salt and half a lemon and it's easy to get to 2,000 calories—and makes a satisfying meal alongside a modest portion of protein.
- ip26 6y agoI have nothing against broccoli, but 2000 calories-worth is 13lbs (setting aside the coconut oil).
- sjwright 6y agoIf you need calories, you can always wash your broccoli down with a block of chocolate. Seriously though, there's plenty of calories in the coconut oil, half a lemon and a modest serving of protein. And it's not like you're going to have broccoli for every meal. Between the eggs and avocado you might have for breakfast and whatever convenience food you'll probably have for lunch, you're unlikely to need more calories for dinner anyway.
