Recommendations

Balance carbs throughout the day

Choose whole grains and fiber-rich foods

Limit processed and refined carbs

Types of Carbohydrates

Complex carbs (whole grains, vegetables, legumes) provide sustained energy and fiber. Simple carbs (sugars, white bread) are quickly digested. Focus on complex carbs for better health.

Good Carb Sources

Whole grains: oats, quinoa, brown rice. Vegetables: sweet potatoes, leafy greens. Fruits: berries, apples, citrus. Legumes: beans, lentils, chickpeas.

Carb Timing

Spread carbs throughout the day for steady energy. Athletes may benefit from carbs before and after workouts. Evening carbs won't necessarily cause weight gain if within your daily needs.
