Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 I have what may be a silly question. I know that when you are working out and especially weight training..you are supposed to be sure to eat a certain amount of carbs. Can veggies and fruits be those carbs?? I'm not sure how this works. I do not eat breads, etc and want to know if I can count veggies as an effective carb to eat while working out. I do know that nuts are also recommended.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 The main thing need for working out overall is protein. Then, right after working out, you should have some carbs mixed with protein because working out tears the muscle down, and then it rebuilds itself. If there's no carbs available, the muscles eat themselves. So, something like a sandwich is good after working out, if it's lifting weights. in Austin RNY April 1998 315/190 Re: Digest Number 2832 I have what may be a silly question.
