Lecture Notes
There are many different sources of carbohydrates. And the goal with eating carbohydrates is really to eat many of the foods that you see listed here on the sides. So, vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads, as opposed to avoiding highly processed foods, such as crackers, soda, other sugary drinks, white bread. All of those things are carbohydrates, but they contain much more simple carbohydrates than the complex carbohydrates.
I've attached a link here to the Harvard School of Public Health recommendations for good sources of carbohydrates to distinguish between some of your better choices for carbohydrates and some of the poorer choices for carbohydrates.
