As previously mentioned in other posts, a carbohydrate rich diet is a requirement for all athletes to properly fuel for sport. Keeping track of about how many grams of carbohydrates you are eating with each meal and snack will help you meet your goal amount. Here is the carbohydrate content of some popular foods:
Food | g CHO | Food | g CHO | Food | g CHO |
Bagel, wheat | 48 g | Banana, medium | 26 g | Raisins, small box | 34 g |
Apple, medium | 25 g | Pretzels, 10 | 47 g | Chocolate milk, 1 cup | 30 g |
Cheerios, 1 cup | 21 g | Fruit yogurt, 8 oz nonfat | 46 g | Potato, baked | 34 g |
Favorite food not listed? I found all of this information from the USDA National Nutrient Database. It has an easy search option for you to look up information for whatever food you choose.
