Sweet potatoes, rice, oats, veggies. I like to keep complex carb intake to the morning and around workouts and fibrous for the other meals.

Oatmeal
Sweet Potatoes
Beans
Oat Bran Cereal
Brown Rice
Pasta
Potatoes

All kinds of veggies work as well. Broccoli, asparagus, spinach, etc.

whole grain bagels/bread.

if they have more than 5-6g of fiber per serving, they are probably good for you.

I found bagels the 50g of carbs, 3g if fat, 8g of fiber, and 10g of protein - LOVE 'EM!

you need healthy fats to abosorb some of the nutrients from the vegatables in the salad, around 6 grams at least

Maltodextrin. Throw about 400 grams in a half gallon of gatorade and chug it, make sure its gone about 3-4 hrs before bed.
