Understanding carb types helps optimize energy for training and recovery.
- Complex Carbs: (e.g., oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole-wheat bread). Slow-digesting, provide sustained energy, good for general meals.
- Simple Carbs: (e.g., fruit, white rice, dextrose, sugary drinks). Fast-digesting, good for quick energy before/during/after workouts to replenish glycogen quickly.
