question about "good carbs"?

hgalioto · January 2014

i've been noticing that fairly often i will go over my recommended carb intake for the day. the thing is though, the majority of these carbs are coming from "good carbs" (i.e fruits and veggies). i know that these carbs are supposed to be beneficial toward your health, however i wanted to know if there was still any kind of health risk with taking too much of them. like, can it lead to weight gain if i don't expend those carbs through workout?

Excess of total calories will make you gain weight, not more carbs than you planned for when it comes to your percentages. I personally eat 50-60% of my calories in carbohydrate, which many on here would say is very high, but I have had no problems losing fat and maintaining muscle doing this. Do what works for you.
