Let's Do Lunch Community

I would love to make a lean- as- possible beef roast with lots of carrots, turnips, onions. I haven't had a pile of cooked carrots in like forever and they really sound good to me right now. Has anyone's weight stalled from eating cooked carrots?

You should be able to eat cooked carrots in abundance.
The only caution I have ever heard (outside LDL) was eating alot of baby carrots raw by themselves.
The baby carrots have a higher natural sugar content and can bottom out you blood glucose making you feel hungrier.
Eating cooked carrots with the protein should be fine.
Then again everyone's body is different. You will just have to monitor yourself and see how it effects you.
But in general eating alot of carrots is a very healthy choice.
Only side effect of overdosing on carrots is improved vision and yellow skin, LOL

Sweetrose, I eat a lot of carrots, cooked and raw.  I like to roast the carrots.  Wash, spray with EVOO, then  roast in 425* oven for around 40 minutes.  It really depends on oven. I usually do other veggies with them.  I haven't turned yellow as yet, but come to think of it, my eyes have remained strong.   JF

Thx guys for your replies. And Little Mary I was wondering why baby carrots turned white, now I know why!

I don't care for raw carrots except for dipping, but cooked carrots are one of ny favorites. And I don't care about the carotene turning my skin orange. Up here in Alaska I need anything that looks like a tan.

Thx Little Mary, I refer to snopes on a regular basis. I look forward to reading about the carrots.
