Hey, guys,
I like the article on this website about the best sources of protein. I wish there was something like that that said what the best sources of carbs are. At first I was eating a lot of brown rice, but then I noticed it only has 1 g of fiber per serving. I like to shoot for at least 20 grams a day of fiber so I started eating whole wheat pasta which has like 6 grams per serving. Anyway, my question is, in your opinion, which of the authorized carbs is the best, nutrition wise (considering fiber, and fat content, etc)?
Thanks in advance!

HighPoint,
I try and cycle and mix up the type of carbs I use for my meals. I will use wild rice, WW pasta, whole grains (bulger, oat bran, oatmeal), ww tortillas, yogurt and fruits. Personally I totally avoid all bread because it is a weakness for me and right now I am on a mission to get my 6-pack. (But oh how I love peanut butter and jam sandwhiches!!) I couldn't say what carb is best but I know my body and I feel much better when I eat a variety of foods. Not to mention my wife is a lot happier because I do the cooking in our house and it is hard for a non-BFLer to eat chicken, wild rice and broccoli every night.
Hope this helps
Best of luck with your challenge
