Pasta good for Carbs

[Vincent302]

After my workout, I need to load up on carbs, correct?

Would pasta be good for this? If not, what would be?

Thanks

pasta is a good source of carbs, basically you would want to take in the complex carbs which are slower digesting and have less chance of absorbing as fat, pasta, rice, potatoes, bread (best eaten early coz it has sugar)
pre workout i occasionally have some sugars right before training for a quick spike in sugar levels, i hope that i burn it all up though!

In a post workout meal, Vincent302, it's best if you focus on the simple carbs (vs complex carbs, like pasta) to encourage the flow of nutrients to your muscles as quickly as possible. A good helping of fast absorbing protein, combined with a controlled amount of high-glycemic carbs (minimize the fat & fiber during this meal) will offer the best solution.

Can you list a few foods to eat?

I appreciate all your help so far.

well i guess simple carbs (sugars) a gatorade, cordial, fruit juice, fruit (apple, banana) breads, etc.
these should replenish the fuel you used quickly
