Carbohydrates are probably the most discussed macronutrient in relation to endurance sports. We all know carbs serve mainly as a source of energy but that still leaves many questions unanswered. What are fast and slow carbs? Which foods are good sources of carbs and which should we avoid? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple sugars during or post workout<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Simple sugars give us energy fast, but only for a short period of time. Look for them on food labels. Glucose is the most common monosaccharide – the body uses it directly for energy. Others are fructose (fruit sugar), sucrose (table sugar), maltose (two glucose molecules), or lactose (milk sugar). Simple sugars are great to replenish energy after a workout or as a fuel during a long and difficult one. Choose sugars from wholesome foods like fruit or dairy, if you tolerate it well, and avoid added sugars as much as you can.<\/p>\n

Complex carbs to keep your glycogen topped off<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Complex carbohydrates give us energy slowly, for a longer period of time. Good sources are starchy foods like potatoes, rice, sourdough bread, pumpkin, corn, and all legumes. Glycogen is also a complex carbohydrate, that\u2019s how the body stores glucose for later use. Fiber belongs to this group as well, we just can\u2019t digest it so it helps our intestinal motility and serves as food for the microbiome. Avoid sources of complex carbs that have been highly processed or prepared at high temperatures like fried potatoes or refined wheat flour.<\/p>\n

Recipe: Oatmeal\u00a0with berries<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This recipe serves two; each portion contain both simple and complex carbs, 88 g in total, 12 g of fiber, 21 g of good fats, and 18 g of proteins. With this composition, it will be a good post workout meal that replenishes glycogen reserves.<\/p>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n

Ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2022 200 g oats, crushed
\n\u2022 mix of berries, handful
\n\u2022 200 ml milk

\n\u2022 20 g dried coconut, grated
\n\u2022 1 tbsp butter
\n\u2022 1 tbsp coconut sugar<\/p>\n
