If you’re having a hard time hitting your carb targets, you’ll need to make sure you’re eating food like bread, pasta, oatmeal, rice, potatoes, and fruits. These carb sources should make up the majority of your total because they’ll also provide your body with fiber.
For those with super high carb targets, it can actually be easy to get overly full when eating these fiber-rich carb sources. If this describes you, you’ll need to include some simple carbs like soda, fruit juice, sweeteners, honey, jellies and syrups, or candy. These low-volume, low-fiber carb sources are often a life-saver for those on muscle gain or reverse dieting goals.
