Carbohydrates, also known as carbs or simply CHO, are a controversial topic in popular nutrition with a clear divide between the high carb and the low carb camp.
In truth, both low and high carb dietary approaches can work, it very much depends on your personal preferences, activity levels, fitness goals, bio-individuality and, of course, your likes and dislikes.
WHAT IS A CARBOHYDRATE?
In this video, I am going to talk about all about carbohydrate.
Carbohydrates are plant foods that are made up of sugar molecules called saccharides. Saccharides are found singularly, in pairs and in complicated chains. The structure of a carbohydrate dictates how it is categorised.
Carbohydrate provides four calories of energy per gram or around 16.8 kilojoules and is the preferred source of energy for your brain and higher intensity activities such as weight lifting and sprinting. On consumption, all digestible carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.
