If it's canned or frozen chances are it's been run through a brine of sugar and salt.  You can find no salt/sugar added veggies.  Carrots are full of sugar, corn is full of starches that metabolizes into sugars, same as peas.  Maybe just buy some broccoli/asparagus and steam it instead.

carrots have a higher glucose content than most other vegetables and so does corn, however carrots sill have a very low glucose content and are mostly fiuber and water...carrots are not somethign you have to "count" in your diet..  corn on the other hand is different, it does have a very high glucose content, similar to wheat foods, but...and now this point might grosse some of you out... it doesnt really seem to digest very well. take a look at your shit the morning after eating a bunch of corn. does it look like any of it got digested and absorbed?  :-X  :-X   :-X im gonna go throw up now but i felt i had to point that out about corn...

The inside of the kernel get's digested but the actual skin of the kernel doesn't.

For bodybuilding purposes, green leafy vegetables are more appropriate.
