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 like carrots, broccoli, asparagus and spinach. But, starchy veggies are still good sources of dietary fiber and other nutrients.

Choose a colorful variety of vegetables (and fruits) every day as part of a nutrient-rich eating plan.
