i'd have to look up the GIycemic index  to check, but from what i remember
raw carrots are pretty high, and cooked carrots are higher than sugar. but
depends on the amount..30 grams of carrot woul dbe ok, 100 grams maybe not.
the easy test, as i believe it, is to see for how many hours afterwards
before you get hungry again.  paleo man would have gone without a meal maybe
for a couple of days. it might be too much for us to adapt to that, but i
think you should be able to eat 2 times a day. sometimes i can do this,
sometimes not.
