I am trying to build some muscle, I am 145lbs 5'7 36 year old male, I was wondering can I eat some simple carbs to build some or just eat complex carbs?

    You can have both. Building muscle is about lifting heavy stuff and eating enough food, including carbs, that your body decides that more muscle will make that job easier so that heavy stuff doesn't fall on your head. :smile:

    Lift heavy, eat food, get plenty of protein. Don't worry about that kind of detail.

    Simple carbs are great post-workout!
