Are carbohydrates bad for you?

Foodio · 06-19-2001, 10:04 AM

Hi again,

I have loads of questions!

I’m quite active, and at times I eat carbohydrates, but I keep hearing that carbs are bad for you. Is this true?
I heard they’re good for energy, but they also can also make you fat?
Is this true?

Thanks again!

Carbs are necessary for energy if you do any kind of activity!

I saw that you eat your burgers on whole wheat buns - that is great because complex carbs are better than others.

I try to keep my carb intake after 3pm to a minimum and I find that helps keep my weight in check. But it's really what works for you!

Hi,

So is it best to eat carbs a little before I go jogging or begin working out etc.?

Why don’t you eat carbs after 3pm?

Whole wheat buns are carbohydrates?

I thought things like pasta, rice and potatoes were the only carbohydrates.

Thanks
