according to Jenny Craig, carrots are fine as a vegetable serving as long as it is a small one.
because there are so many other food items that contain starch, they prefer you choose a more nutritous vegetable.
Corn is also considered to be a starch and is also on the bottom of the vegetable to eat list.
Yes carrots are an excellent choice. They do count as a serving. if they’re regular carrots, I think 2 is a serving. If it’s baby carrots, it should say on the bag. They have beta carotene. An even better choice though is spinach. Lots of fiber!

I know they’re a starch but are they still a good diet choice?

Yes, they are a complex carb, meaning your body takes a long time to break it down. It’s a great source of vitamins and minerals.
