We all know that different foods have drastically different nutritional components. But nowhere are the differences more extreme than when we look at carbohydrates. Foods like meat and fish have virtually no carbs, while sweets like chocolate and candy can have more than 90% of their weight concentrated in carbs. In the following study, we expose the differences in what 10 grams of carbs look like in some of our favorite foods.
