We all think that vegetables have very low calories, so many people like to tell others to eat less meat and more vegetables when eating. Everyone thinks that meat is high in calories and will make us gain weight, but in fact there are also some vegetables that are high in calories. So do you know what vegetables are high-calorie foods? Let’s take a look at fitness food together!
Potatoes
Every 100 grams of potatoes can provide 17.8 grams of carbohydrates. Steamed potatoes are actually eaten as a staple food in Western food. Potatoes contain 81 calories per 100 grams. After frying, the calories of a plate of shredded potatoes increase to 115 calories, which is about the same as a bowl of rice. If you mix rice with shredded potatoes and eat it, it is equivalent to eating two bowls of rice in one meal. Doubling the calories is obviously not conducive to weight loss.

Although peas are delicious and help to eliminate excess water from the body, their carbohydrate content is higher than that of rice, so they should not be eaten as a weight loss vegetable. You can only eat one of peas and staple food, and the amount must be controlled, otherwise it will easily lead to obesity.
