Carrots have long been known as a diet food. The rabbit diet has a negative connotation, but Bugs Bunny knew a thing or two about eating well!A whole cup of sliced carrots contains only 52 calories. In that one cup, you get all the vitamin A you need for the day, thanks to the beta-carotene that gives carrots their orange color.
