Carbohydrates: Chain of glucose molecules • Your main source of energy/gas in your tank to GO! • Fuels your brain, kidneys, heart, and central nervous system • Fiber containing carbohydrates (complex) aid in digestion (poop), helps you feel full and keeps blood cholesterol in check. Sources are Ezekiel breads, legumes, wild rice, quinoa, barley, raw veggies, raw fruits (high in fiber fruits). When can/should have:  • Prior to work out and expenditure of energy, avoid large carbs for dinner and none after! This is your opportunity to finally be the weight you want to be!
