Carbohydrates: A Rainbow of Food
Colorful fruits and vegetables are the
foundation of your daily menus. Full
of vitamins and minerals, they help
maintain your organs and immune
system, keeping your body strong as
the weight comes off.
ShapeWorks makes it easy to
choose the right fruits and
vegetables for your meal plan by
organizing them into seven unique
color groups. Both men and women
should include at least one serving
from each group every day.
Simply eating more fruits and
vegetables is not the answer– they
must be the right fruits and
vegetables. Starchy vegetables such
as peas or lentils (200 to 250 calories
per cup) are healthy, but they
contain more calories than you may
want. If you need to eat more to
satisfy your hunger, add lowglycemic-
load vegetables. For
example, spinach and asparagus are
better choices than higher-calorie
corn and peas. A cup of spinach
topped with 1.2 cup of tomato sauce
has only about 90 calories, but it gives
you nutrients from two color groups.
Why Not Brown and Beige?
When considering which foods to
enjoy sparingly, also use color as a
guideline. Many brown and beige
carbohydrates, like pasta, beans and
potatoes, while healthy, also tend to
be high in calories.
Color Counts:
2 cups of spinach = 80 calories
2 cups of rice or potatoes = 500 calories
