Opinions on quality carbs while cutting?

[blaster220]

Trying to keep the carbs down while cutting, and I never eat before or directly after cardio. However, on my cardio-off mornings, I was wondering to keep my fiber in check would a quality carb breakfast like oatmeal be acceptable for my carbs for the day?

I don't want to ruin the caloric defecit, but at the same time I feel that quality fiber from oatmeal would be beneficial on the days I'm not doing cardio.

What's your opinion?

If you want fiber, take wheat germ. It is high in fiber and low on fat.

try fruit , or make a salad with vegetables these are the good carbs and if you eat them after your cardio your metbolism will keep buring them, plus youll get your fiber, works for me...

Good advice, anyone else?

'quality fiber'

good vegetable sources of carbs which are low-glycemic foods are mushrooms, yams and onions.

Why is brown rice better than white rice.
I have seen this in many diets, but there is still a lot of carbs in brown rice?
Any help?

WHITE RICE HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND BLEACHED WITH CHEMICALS AND PRESERVATIVES WHICH MAKES IT VERY HARD TO BREAK DOWN IN YOUR INTESTINAL ENZYMES. THUS LEADING TO PURE FAT BUILD UP WITH HARDLY ANY WAY TO TRAIN OR CARDIO IT AWAY..... BROWN RICE IS NOT BLEACHED AND THEREFORE THE BODY CAN REGULATE AND BREAK DOWN THE RICE FAIRLY EASY AND USE IT FOR FUEL....HOPE THIS HELPS...

If you're looking for non-carb roughage broccoli, colliflower, and asparagus are your best bet. The carb content of them is largely cellulose which the body is incabable of digesting and passes through the system acting as a "scrubber". These are for the most part negligable calories, but they are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

For carb sources provided your body with fiber AND glucose oatmeal is the #1 choice. Make sure it's plain, whole grain otmeal though. Most of the stuff in packets is loaded with sugar. Buy the big jug with the quaker guy on it.
