A good carb-up food needs to fit into these parameters.
-Low fat
-High Carb
-No Fructose (that means start reading labels on foods, High fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, anything else with fructose in it is BAD) (I have bowed down to the all mighty West_On_46 in this issue, although i will still eat my apple with oatmeal )
-Sugary food is good, but don't overindulge in sucrose (table sugar), don't start putting cups of sugar in your coffee. Sucrose is essentially a 1:1 mix of glucose and fructose, so 1g of sucrose will be .5glucose and .5fructose.
Seeing as today's society is so anti-fat, you can get fat free or low fat anything. I have actually seen low fat heavy cream, not too sure how that works. Cocoa Pebbles with skim milk is good, or oatmeal with jam is good. Spaghetti, skittles, sweet tarts, smarties, bread (yes bread) etc. That is my basic explanation of a carb-up. Take note that i don't mention protein, that is also important, and you can have SOME fat, just not too much.
