Carb source at dinner....

[pectus]

Often I'm on the middle of the dinner and I realize that I have still 30-50g of Carb left.
Say I need/planned 200g and I realize I'm at 160g.
I don't want to untroduce an High glicemix index carb at 8 PM, so I'm searching a medium -low Glic index carb to add at the end of my dinner.
I HAVE TO AVOID fruit, and oats ( and obviously pasta , rice, and bread and potetos).
Any suggestion?

Greek Yogurt?

Curious as to why you feel you "have" to avoid fruit

[Sean1332]

well you just said you have to avoid all those carb sources which contain low glycemic carbs

yet you say you want to take in low glycemic carbs...you made no sense there

have some whole grains or oats bud, you'll be good to go

too little carbo on it. I'd have to eat to much to reach the target.

I can't because if I use Fruit at Dinner or lunch I have problems...
Just to be sure to have a good amount of fruit I usually consume fruit away from big meal (I consume usually at breakfast, and in the 10AM and 4 PM snack.

I asked ... I asked for this reason, just to have some possible substitute to the normal sources of Low glicemic index food..

A small sweet potato should work here.

[diezel]

My bad, I thought he was only referring to white potatoes.

[Sean1332]

[liftallday123]

eat some greens. why no sweet potatos ? there delicious ?

[liftallday123]

mhm or some white kidney beans would be goood

[MuscleGauge1]

Perhaps a sweet potatoe or blue sweet potatoes. Even ancient grains like kamut and quinoa would be good sources of low glycemic carbs. You could also try beans. Garbanzo beans are higher in carbs than red or black beans

Yes sweet potatoes CAN be good. But here in Italy is difficult to find. White potato is simple .. sweet NO.
