alt Hacker NewsIt’s kinda tough to get a good baseline of what people are talking about without real numbers - like I’d personally rate my carb consumption as “moderate” - I don’t eat meat so it’s tricky to meet my Calorie needs by cutting out rice and increasing my bean consumption. OTOH the added sugars in my diet are practically zero.

White rice has a higher glycemic index (GI) than sugar (sucrose).

I eat a handful of grains a day. Sometimes I make an exception for oatmeal. Anymore, is too much for me. I don't eat added sugar regularly.

Other than eggs and dairy, there is really no good vegetarian protein source. That's my personal opinion. Vegetarian protein comes with a variety of issues.
