Carbohydrate Foods

Overview

One serving of carbohydrate food has about 15 grams of carbohydrates. Typically if a food has 8 to 22 grams of carbohydrates per serving, it is considered to be 1 serving of carbohydrates.

Foods that contain carbohydrates are grouped into the following categories. The carbohydrate content is listed in grams (g). If you eat a larger portion, count it as more than one serving.

The carbohydrate content of sweets varies according to the ingredients. Talk with a registered dietitian about how to work desserts and other sugary foods into your meal plan.

In an effort to better meet the needs of our community our office hours will be changing as of September 2, 2024.

Monday-Thursday we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 4pm.

On Fridays we will be offering appointments as early as 8am and as late as 12:30pm.

We believe the addition of these earlier and later appointments during the week will better meet the needs of our patients.
