Diet data in the United States have confirmed that lettuce and carrots can help meet the body's daily carbohydrate needs.
Doctors found that eating two and a half cups of vegetables per day is sufficient to provide the body with about two thousand calories, which is the rate that an adult needs.
Although carrots and lettuce provide some carbohydrates, lettuce contains much fewer carbohydrates than carrots.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, one cup of grated carrots provides about 11 grams of carbohydrates, while one cup of corn, which is rich in starches, contains about 27 grams of carbohydrates.
The ministry reported that a cup of grated lettuce contains only a gram of carbohydrates, which is the main source of energy in the body.
Nutritionists recommend that children and adults consume at least 130 grams of carbohydrates daily.
Pregnant women should consume at least 175 grams of carbohydrates, while breastfeeding women should eat at least 210 grams of carbohydrates per day.
If you work out regularly, you will probably need more carbohydrates.
According to a study conducted by the "Brown" American University, athletes should get about 65 percent of daily calories from carbohydrates, or about 325 grams of them daily to obtain 2000 calories.
Carbohydrates found in carrots, lettuce and other vegetables are "healthy", while other carbohydrates are not, and doctors recommend eating them in moderation.
