Bulking Carbs

[D00fy]

what kinda pasta should i look for?

Whole Wheat pasta is the best, but pretty expensive as pasta goes. I have been eating a new kind lately that I would compare to a wheat bread as far as carbs go. Not really 100% unprocessed whole wheat, but better than white. It tastes pretty good too.

Try a vegetable pasta like spinach pasta which is high in vitamins and protein. Also when bulking, just eat eat eat....a good replacement for some bread which has moderate protein and high in carbs would be whole wheat or multigrain bagels. By the way which contain more nutrients??

multigrain vs whole wheat????

I wish that I could stomach whole wheat pasta. I don't get too concerned about the quality of carbs when bulking. However, I generally eat my pasta an hour after my post workout shake so a higher insulin response is actually desirable. Otherwise, yams and old fashioned oats are my carb sources.

How come you can't stomach whole wheat past? I would eat some about 2 hours before my workout and LOOK OUT!! Plenty of energy to last me through my workout.

All non-fructose carbs are pretty much the same on a bulking cycle. High glycemic ones will increase insulin and leptin (via insulin) a bit more, so a bit of an argument can be made in their favor, but if you are eating a ton, you will get a pretty good insulin spike, regardless.
