More details about me:
So basically trying to put on as much weight as possible. What should I know about simple vs complex carbs, and which ones should I eat more?[/quote]
At the end of the day it does not matter because they all have to pass through your system.
Complex carbs take longer to digest and leave insulin your system much longer since their total uptake is slower. This means since you are burning carbohydrate for energy any protein and fat you eat will most likely become fat.
Simple carbs digest faster but since you cannot use all that energy at once the excess will be stored as fat.
What you should care about is how much you eat rather than the type of carbohydrate.
You will get fat all the same no matter what type you eat as long as you eat enough.[/quote]
I’ve noticed this in myself. I do much better on small carb portions - no matter the GI or simple/complex.
