WHAT IS THE BEST SOURCE OF CARBOHYDRATES FOR A SPORTSMAN? POTATOE, PASTA, RICE OR MAIZE MEAL?
ByWhich of these has the many appropriate and many simply eatable carbs. I fool around rugby and need to batch up on carbs prior to games. The tack food in this partial of Africa is maize dish porridge but I’m not assured it’s the many appropriate source.

Pasta is slow burning , so a good source.
Bananas are also great.I eat One for breakfast with cereal and then one 2 hours before the match and one one hour before the match. I am a ref and can keep up at the beginning of the match but find my stamina is better than the players in the last quarter when you need to be as alert as when you started.
Plenty of water also.
Yours in Rugby.

Pasta by far. This has been know for over 10 years.

Pasta for sure – my marathon-running son swears by it and his whole gang tanks up on lashings of pasta before events. Pasta comes in every kind of grain [we eat the whole-grain type at home] and can be dressed up with fresh chopped veggies or any seasoning oil you can find.
