The quantity of carbohydrates in the diet also is accounted for in fruit content, dairy products, and to a lesser extent vegetables. Whole fruits, green-leafy, cruciferous,and colorful vegetables, and low-fat dairy products are preferred. These 4 food groups all account for the carbohydrate content of a nutritious diet.
