Best Answer

Most of your carbohydrates should come from complex carbs, not simple. The latter is absorbed fast, giving you short term energy, where as complex carbs give you long lasting energy and will help you feel full. Foods such as oatmeal, vegetables, and grains will give you the energy you need. Keep in mind sugar releases chemicals that promote fat storage. When you are eating sugar, try to make it after a workout as this is when it is most useful to your body, and in a perfect world all of your sugar intake should come from fruits and veggies, and other natural foods such as milk. I hope this helps you and please not I am not a doctor and you should consult your Doctor for your own needs.

None. You do not need 'added' (refined/processed) sugar in your daily diet. Sugar from corn syrup or table sugar adds no nutritional value whatsoever.
