Battle of carbs - vote for best carb source

[Pete200]

Vote for what do you think is the best carb source (must be predominantly carbs), that can be used for (clean) bulking and cutting.

I have suggested 10 options (i have excluded low calorie carbs such as brocolli, because they will not assist builking apart in terms of supplying carbs. All options are the unprocessed variety

(1) Oatmeal

(2) Oatbran

(3) Barley

(4) Wheat

(5) Sweet potatoe/yams

(6) Corn on the cob

(7) Beans (e.g., Kidney, Lima) excluding Soy Beans

(8) Brown Rice

(9) Basatimi rice

(10) white potatoes

(11) Skim milk

(12) Other (please spcify)

I voted for sweet potatoe - most nutritious vitamin and mineral wise, and it should be recalled that the GI of oatmeal is in a sense lowered by its its fat and protein content (about 10% each) (similarly, GI for beans lowered by protein content).

If you added that amount of good fat and protein to the sweet potatoe, I'm sure its GI would be far lower than oatmeal

(Note, i recognise that some varieties of beans are the slowest releasing carbs up there, but you cannot really consume them in extreme bulk without extreme flatulence).

I voted for oats mainly due to the fact I hate sweet potatoes with a passion. Just curious - what do you guys put on your sweet potatoe? I've used low carb bbq sauce and assorted mrs dash's in the past, but it still doesn't seem to get good tasting enough to take over oats for me

Cinnimon.

Cinnimon.

So you eat 100 grams of cinnimon per day to get your carbs? (Also, cinnimon is high in both iron and calcium, and these tend to block the absorption of each other)

Lol, he was replying to my question..

I voted 100% steel cut rolled oats. Put a little cinnamon in there...mmmm...haven't had that in a while. Think I'll have it tomorrow.
