Raw carrot — sweet root vegetable, beta-carotene source.

Higher carb than most vegetables but still volume-eating friendly. Cooked carrots have higher GI than raw.

Best for

  • volume eating — 41 kcal / 100g keeps plates big
  • fiber and micronutrient gaps on high-protein diets

Watch out

  • drowning produce in creamy dressings you did not log
  • dried fruit or juice versions if you meant fresh

How to log it

Log the form you eat (raw, cooked, juiced). 1 medium (~61g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Almost always fits as the volume layer. If fat/sauce is the real meal, log that honestly.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

Raw or steamed carrot stays close to the page numbers. Oil and creamy dressings are where calories hide — typical kcal per 100g:

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
