The food pyramid has Carbohydrates at the base, but too much carbohydrates has too many calories, isn’t it?

Q: I am planning on going on a diet. I looked at the food pyramid expecting to see Fruit/veg as the base and i see that’s it’s carbohydrates! What i don’t understand is that carbohydrates e.g. bread has a lot of preservatives in it which means the peice of bread would contain a lot of calories…?!?I was wondering if you could help me on how many times i should eat carbohydrates everyday and what carbohydrates could i eat that don’t contain too many calories?Thanks..x

A: Bread doesn’t have to be bad. Flip it over and look at the label. Choose ones that are both low in calories and high in Fiber.My favorites:Aunt Millie Healthy Life bread – 80 cals for 2 slices, 5g of fiber.Thomas Light English Muffins – 100 cals with 8g of fiber.Thomas Mini-Wheat Bagels – 120 cals with 4g of fiber.Oatmeal – 120 to 160 calories, 3 to 6g of fiber depending on brand, cut, and flavor.You do need to be eating 6-11 servings of carbs per day. This can be where you get your 25g of fiber that you need to get daily. If your servings average 100 calories each, that’s only 600 calories – less than half your daily intake. Remember, even a strict calorie restricted diet will have you eat at least 1200 calories up to 1500 calories. Veggies are really low in calories, so can low-fat/no-fat dairy, and lean meats are low too.You need carbs – they are the only thing that powers your brain, and the energy keeps you from being sluggish. Look for complex carbs over sugary ones, and get lots of fiber to keep you full.Good luck!
