what foods would you reccomend for complex carbohydrates?
complex carbohydrate foods: whole wheat products, oats, brown rice, bran/high fiber products, potatoes, and nuts. of course, scarlet, there are many, many more. you should want to stay away from (as much as possible) refined/simple carbohyrates. these, too, are easy to locate. most sweet products, white bread, general baked goods, fruit juices are loaded with simple carbohydrates. just look at the ingredients. if you see glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, corn syrup, molasses, or white flour as ingredients, chances are it fits into the category of simple/refined carbohydrates. the more steps it takes to produce the product, the greater the odds are that the product is full of simple/refined carbohydrates.
and also do you think that more than 3 hard boiled eggs a day is too much, because ive heard once you get to 3-4 you should start to only eat the whites of the eggs. but that may not really matter with me much with the age im at and the metabolism i have.
well, you sort of answered your own question. it seems that you are young enough to be able to sustain and thrive from eating some hard-boiled eggs. if you're an ectomorph (thin with trouble gaining weight), feel free to eat them. they're high in saturated fats, so it's not something i'd recommend long-term. if you're an endomorph (heavy with trouble losing/sustaining weight), then you'd probably want to stay away from them. you imply that you have a fast metabolism, so, again, eat away. i wouldn't go crazy with refined/simple carbohydrates and high fat foods, but you're young and you should enjoy the fast metabolism while you can. also, if you're exercising a lot, you have a green light to eat virtually as much as you want without paying the toll for it. when i was in high school, i ate absolutely everything in front of me and only lost weight. that is no longer the case.
