Let’s just admit it. Carbs are delicious. Dangerously delicious. That’s why we need to be selective about them.
And why we should enjoy them since they fuel muscles with well needed octane to provide for high quality training.
Anyhow. Here are our top choices:
Oven roasted potatoes
Sprinkle with your favorite seasoning and top with a tad bit of oil/butter spray (but don’t go overboard. This is a carb list - not a fat or bulking list).
Japanese sweet potatoes
Ever been to Japan? Well. You should go. And while you’re at it, make sure to try out the local food.
And sweet potatoes is one of the best things about the Japanese cuisine.
White rice
Speaking of Japan. They eat a lot of rice. In fact: they are masters of white rice. Plain white. Plain carbs.
And damn tasty.
Apples
On that topic. Fuji apples. Say no more. At $1.50 each they are not cheap.
But taste wise worth the while (and money).
Carrots
Yes. Really. (make ‘em in the oven and you’ll see why). Spray on a bit of oil/butter and season lightly (garlic is a good choice).
And send us the thank you card for this delicious low calorie carb source.
Low fat ice cream just missed the list by a hair’s breadth.
So did freshly baked bread, mom’s cinnamon buns and Swedish fish. They’d have qualified for taste but unfortunately failed on calorie and nutrient density. The former being too high. The latter not high enough.
The key is to select mainly satiating and nutritious carbs that also taste great. And now you know our favorites. Feel free to try them out.
And to enjoy them maximally. And preferably when they make the most use: around workouts and pre-bed.
