Carbohydrates

Most carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, or sugar molecules when digested.
The main function of carbs is to provide us with energy.
Glucose is the preferred energy source for your brain, your nervous system, and red blood cells
It is also stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver for later use when exercising
Good sources of carbs include:
rice, oats, potatoes, pasta
Vegetables
Fruits
beans, lentils, chickpeas
The foods I just mentioned are things I would recommend trying to consume on a regular basis.
They will provide you with plenty of energy for your activity and are mostly high in fibre so they are more satiating options that will help keep you fuller for longer.
The last thing to talk about when referring to carbohydrates is sugar. Sugar once digested is exactly the same as other forms of carbohydrate, it all turns into glucose.
The major difference being that sugar doesn’t come with the nutritional benefits that you will find when consuming whole foods.
It is just pure energy. Which isn’t a problem – if you are in a calorie deficit you will lose weight even if all you were consuming was sugar.
However, because it is refined, it is easier to consume a lot of it and it is less satiating, so just be aware that consuming foods higher in sugar can make it harder to maintain your calorie deficit, for these reasons. Not to mention, they can be very moreish!
