Carbohydrate Intake

Daily carbohydrate intake     Our daily carbohydrate intake is essential as they are the main fuel for all muscular movement. For an average person the diet should provide a large proportion of energy from this nutrient. If you exercise frequently your carbohydrate intake should be even higher. A good carbohydrate intake enables muscles to work harder throughout a workout helping to burn more calories and maintain weight.   A diet with a low carbohydrate intake can make exercise feel tough, especially if the exercise is anaerobic. If exercise becomes tough the result can be a decreased desire to repeat any workout again, reduced workouts equals reduced fitness results!   The diet should provide a carbohydrate intake of up to 60% of total daily energy. A large percentage should be in the form of complex carbohydrates from natural low calorie sources like grains, cereals and vegetables.   Some people struggling to lose weight may benefit from a low carbohydrate intake, however although a low carbohydrate diet can help some lose initial weight fast we feel this diet promotes laziness, plus much of the initial loss is possibly made up of fluid loss from cells. Tom Venuto believes the low carb diet can be effective in helping people burn fat if all its positive points are taken and combined with a normal diet. He believes very low carb diets are TOTAL INSANITY!     Sources of carbohydrates   Many processed foods high in carbohydrates also tend to have a high fat and calorie content so these should be limited when trying to losing weight. For example, potatoes are low in calories and a great source of complex carbohydrate, however potatoes are also the main ingredient in hash browns from McDonalds yet "weight for weight" they contain more fat and calories than a cheeseburger or Big Mac!   When planning your carbohydrate intake you should try to consume fresh natural foods and ingredients. Check labels on processed foods for their fat and calorie content. As a rule of thumb if the product has more than 15 grams of fat in 100 grams of product then it should be limited or a much smaller portion consumed.   Servings of high carbohydrate foods 6 servings of grain & cereal foods such as bread, pasta, and rice (preferably wholegrain, high fiber types) 3 or 4 servings of vegetables 2 or more servings of fruit   Atkins low carb diet   Complex Carbohydrates   carbohydrate content of different fruit   Carbohydrates in alcohol how many carbohydrates   carbohydrates in the diet - simple and complex carbohydrate   Carbohydrates in vegetables how many carbs in different vegetables   Please read our terms Terms of use
