Carb Source

[mrdamo]

Any recommendations for another source of carbs apart from basmati rice?

Been having heaps of trouble finishing off my meals of late with the amount of rice i'm having, needing to find something else which is easy to digest.

Cheers

Sweet potato - make it into mash potato mmmmmmmmm
pasta (go with wholegrain if possible)

 

[MaxBrenner]

Potato (any kind), Pasta (any kind), Oats, Bread (any kind), Cous Cous, Polenta, Fruits etc etc etc You can use anything you wish just as long as IIFYM, it doesn't matter after that.

Sweet potato for me.
Sprinkle cinnamon on it and if you are not dieting add sour cream.

rice pasta etc is a staple..you might need to look at the way ur cookin the rice, brand of rice...flavouring, play with what yoo know first i recko etc.

if u wanna digest quick just buy a slow carb shake and have small amount of meat and vegies o nthe side for 1-2 meals a day.

Cheers for the help guys.

I grabbed some wholemeal Penne past last night.

Whenever im not dieting sweet potato will pretty much be my main carb source, next to oats.

The beauty of sweet potato is you can have it so many diff ways, chips, mash, roasted, jacked potato style etc etc etc - I never ever got bored of eating sweet potato.

Yeah potato (sweet or otherwise)

Oats... oats... plenty of oats.

Can you get prewashed sweet potatos? I normally CBF peeling them so switching to washed potatoes. If I can get sweet ones washed I'll try them as well.

Eat them with the skin if you CBF

I was going to but then the ones I got looked pretty much like they were just pulled from the ground so I decided against it. I'll keep looking

[Bazza20]

There not carbs??

 

[Rugby88]

Not carbs you should be eating lol

 

[Bazza20]

Not carbs you should be eating lol

Reasons??

If you are not gluten intolerant bread is fine.

As for sugar, well the OP said he couldn't eat all his carbs. Not that i do it but It's a pretty simple way to add some more carbs if thats what you are after and can't stomach anything else, especially around training.

 

[Rugby88]

I really shouldn't have to explain why not to eat bread and sugar as a carb source if you have any understanding of nutrition.

Around training he would be taking in a carb source anyway - but something like WMS not sugar.

Again - Sweet potato or pasta are great opions for meal time - as I said you can do alot with sweet potato so it does not get boring.

Do not eat bread and sugar for a carb source.

First off, I love sweet potato and pasta, no argument there at all.

There is nothing wrong with bread, if you can digest it and it fits into your calories nothing wrong. If you listen to bodybuilding myth, yes there may be something wrong with bread but the real world says otherwise.

Read the OPs post he said he is having trouble finishing of his carbs.
