Look into complex carbs as Wj4 said and also low glycemic carbs.Originally Posted by djkaos23
.i need a run down of good carbs vs bad carbs. anyone can help
Those are the only carbs that you should be consuming.
The only time to consume simple/high glycemic carbs is right after training to (more) quickly replenish your sugar levels.
Man, size 28 jeans..that's hardcore. I'm at a weird stage, between 30 and 31...SMH. Nothing fits right off the shelf.
Ive been consuming the bulk of my complex carbs pre/post workout primarily for energy. Then the latter half of the day veges and fruits take over. If your on a low-carb diet, its good to increase your protein and fats. Typical day for me would be around 2000ish cals 45p/30p/25f - trying to increase my fats though.
Complex carbs should be around 55-60% if you're training seriously/heavy.
