7 things people think are low-carb but actually aren't
They're practically equivalent to a bowl of pasta.
We tend to think bread = carbs, but many other unexpected foods pack just as many grams of 'em. Watch out for these ones.
Mangoes
One fruit has 50 grams of carbs. That said, half of one also packs an entire day's supply of Vitamin C.
Fizzy drinks
The sugar in a can of fizzy drink gets a bad rap, but the carb count is just as bad: one can of Coke has 39 grams.
Raisins
A tiny, unassuming box of these guys has 34 grams of carbs.
Bananas
An extra-large banana can have around 35 carbs, but it also is a good source of magnesium, potassium, and fibre.
Quinoa
It's a better alternative to bread, thanks to its high protein and fibre count, but quinoa still has around 39 grams of carbohydrates in a cup.
Yoghurt
If you opt for a high-sugar, fruity variety, you risk taking in more than 40 carbs per 8-o.z. serving.
Beans
A cup of the baked ones has a whopping 54 grams of carbs.
