Carbohydrates for Exercise

Consume at least 3 to 4 grams of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight each day. Make sure that most of these carbohydrates come from comples sources such as pasta, rice, oatmeal, potatoes and yams and fibrous veggies such as broccoli and asparagus. The only time you should be feeding your body fast acting carbs is immediately after your workouts.

Your diet ratio should be 50 to 55% carbohydrates, 25 to 30% protein and 15 to 20% fat.
