By November the U.S. Navy was able to land reinforcements on Guadalcanal faster than the Japanese, and by January 44,000 U.S. troops were on the island. By February 1943 the Japanese, badly outnumbered, were forced to evacuate 12,000 of their remaining troops from Guadalcanal.
The Carb Count in Carrots. One medium carrot has about 6 grams of carbohydrates. One-half cup of baby carrots -- the amount the American Diabetes Association suggests for a midday snack -- also contains about 6 grams of carbs. Because carrots have so much fiber, they affect metabolism differently than other carbs.
Compare this with the same serving size (Â½ cup) of cooked carrots: 1  36 total calories. 2  1 gram of protein (1 gram times 4 calories = 4 calories from protein) 3  0 grams of fat (0 grams times 0 calories = 0 calories from fat) 4  8 grams of carbohydrate (8 grams times 4 calories = 32 calories from carbohydrate)
