Importance of Carbs

Carbohydrates are one of your bodies key sources of energy. Many people over look the fact that a good breakfast is essential for a better day. It fuels your body for whatever your plans may be. Good carbs such as whole wheat breads, pasta, oatmeal ect. are excellent healthy sources of energy for your body to harvest. These are essential in all ranges of athletics. Not enough carbs = not enough energy. This being said, i do not recommend you pound down a red bull or two before hitting the weights for an extra boost of energy.
Try to balance your carbohydrate intake with fruit and veggies. Too many carbohydrates just creates fat, especially if your inactive. My recommendation for a beginning body builder or athlete would be to eat about 1-2 cups of oatmeal, with at least one fruit in the morning once every few days. Don't JUST eat the same thing over and over, use your imagination to change up your breakfast.
