I need some examples of simple carbs..

[CPA22]

Hey guys,

I need some post workout simple carbs, about 75-100g's. Its hard to find something with that. Today I ate 2 big apples after my workout. Since you need simple sugars after your workout, and almost every single shake on the market is low carb these days, what do you suggest??

thanks,
CPA22

Just so everyone knows, here is a definition of simple carbs

Simple carbohydrates - Simple carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides occurring naturally in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Some examples of simple carbohydrates are glucose, galactose, and fructose, all of which are monosaccharides and, sucrose, lactose, and maltose, all of which are disaccharides.

Most simple carbohydrates elevate blood sugar levels rapidly, providing "instant energy" which is quickly utilized and dissipated. Fructose is an exception. Additionally, refined sources of simple carbohydrates, such as candy, contribute only calories to the diet. These "empty calories" are often consumed in place of foods which would provide important nutrients in addition to the energy.

galactose? so that means milk is good for a PWO shak then, yes?

"simple carbs" does not always mean "high GI carbs"
