Which is the best carb source in your ....

[superqt4u2nv]

opinion and why white potato, yams, oats, or brown rice?

I like oats because I can grind them down to a powder and put them in my shakes. Lots of clean carbs and it doesn't fill you up.

Works great for me because I don't like to eat in the morning, so a shake with oatmeal helps to get me going. I've tried eating oatmeal in the morning and it sucks ass plus it takes me too long to eat (I'm usually running late). I can just mix it and drink in the car on the way to school.

I like to do a shake with oatmeal right before bed as well. Easy to do and I can get it down no problem even if I've eaten an hour beforehand.

nutter butters, cuz they're awesome dipped in milk...........lol j/k. I eat oats more then anything else you listed, so i'd say thats my first choice.

Oats are but by grinding them down you do alter the speed at which they are absorbed by the body. After that I would place brown rice and yams. White rice and white potatoes are starchy carbs.

True taz but a lot of BB’s use white potatoes to carb up especially pre contest. Oats bloat me a little so I got to lose it around 1-2 weeks out. So far the only thing I have luck with and process well is brown rice or brown rice cakes. I am going to try white potatoes on my next carb up and see what they do to me only thing I have yet to try.

Mr.X love to hear your opinion

Aside for the oats, brown rice and sweet taters, I like legumes, lentils especially. They are satisfying, provide energy, and taste good. Plus they have protein built in em.

BB-ers pre-contest use simple carb sources. The timing and quantity of which are generally regulated. For day in and day out quality carbs most competing and non-competing bb-ers will agree with the list as I placed them. Sugars and starchy carbs like white potatoes should always be avoided when dieting.
