good hi gi carbs?

[eurorides]

when i come back from the gym i usually will drink a gatorade along with a sweet potato and a lean source of protien (egg whites/chicken) i am wondering if i should use a whole food rather then the gatorade for high GI calories. am i hurting myself by eating low gi foods (sweet potaotes or oat meal) and using the gatorade for the sugar? example foods would be good too


btw everyone mixes up yams and sweet potaotes...i always get the one thats orange. which one is that, and is there a difference (nutritionally speaking i mean) between the 2? thanks

It can be difficult to find in local stores. Try this website link. They seem to have the cheapest shipping that I've been able to find. Cause dextrose is cheap, but shipping sometimes costs more than the dextrose. But this site is very reasonable.

As for high GI carbs postworkout, you can take a 50% dextrose + 50% maltodextrine drink
