How good/bad are raisins as a carb source? I eat 60 grams before and after training in combination with a protein drink as a pre/post workout snack. I also have them in my breakfast oatmeal-omelet.
I used them cause they contain much carbs, I wonder though, are they considered clean?

There is no such thing as "clean" carbs.

I don't believe in IIFYM, I have better experiences with pasta potatoes and oatmeal than with Ice cream and McDonalds. I am not gonna shove granulated sugar down my throat to beef up. Do you?
Back to the topic: I suppose the carbs in the raisins come mainly from fructose, which is allegedly better than white sugar. Wrong or right?

The second quote illustrates that you simply do not understand IIFYM. There is a sticky that can help you correct that problem.
