slow digesting vs fast digesting
Anonymous File :-(, x)
dear /fit/, I have a question: what's the difference between simple and complex carbs/proteins? I think the simple ones are digested faster and the complex ones are digested slower, is this right? So my question is: when should you be eating complex foods and when should be be eating simple foods? I heard that a slow digesting protein source, like cottage cheese, should be ingested pre-bed; and that a fast digesting one, like whey, should be ingested directly post workout. Also, I heard that you should avoid "empty" carbs, and go for the complex carbs, like veggies. How much of this is true?
Here's a list I made, what other foods can be added to it?
Complex (Slow digesting): Carbs: veggies, fruits, whole grain products Proteins: cottage cheese, milk Fats:?
Simple (Fast digesting): Pro: whey Carbs: sugar Fats:?
