Good Carbs

sotcsam · 06-11-2009, 08:59 PM

Hello everyone I desperately need to consume more carbs. So, i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for some good whole grain snacks or where i can get the proper carbs needed for a high intensity workout while taking dymethazine.

I have always loved brown rice and some kind of grain bread like flax bread or something similar. Look up some of the articles on the main site you will find some good information.

Oats and potatoes are my favorite.

Sweet potato mash! So delicious and easy to eat. I make about a 300 gram serving which has over 60g of high quality carbs and nutrients.

i don't eat bread, cereals, pasta, so when i was trying to bulk last month i found raw milk to be the answer. easy to pound down ~750ml

27g fat
27g protein
36g carbs

throw in a scoop of whey, some fiber, some greens+ and you got a winner

Yeah but those are mainly monosaccharides which should be consumed only for postworkout, I can get plenty of those. I want the poly saccharides like whole grain stuff.

Oh and go for the ones that are orange inside, taste better than the white/purple ones and lots of vitamin A (you know, for your eyes, so you can checkout the chicks working out

haha yeah i know, but my body reacts horribly to the monosaccharides, i build up excess fat in my lower abs when i eat that crap and i hate it so thats why I try to stick to whole grains and wheat stuff.

Ok thanks I'll keep that in mind, haha if only there were hot chicks at the gym I go to, I go really early in the morning so all the ladies there are like over 70 years old.

I do eat oats often and lots of fruit, but I'm having a lot of trouble gaining weight so I'll have to try out all of these other suggestions. Thank you.
