Veggie vs. Starchy Veggie, Whats That???

It's true! Not all vegetables are created equal when it comes to calories. Starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, peas, and corn generally contain more calories per cup than non-starchy vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, asparagus and spinach. But, starchy veggies are still wonderful sources of fiber and other nutrients. Consider
consuming a variety of vegetables every day as part of a nutrient rich eating style.
