Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are another main source of nutrients for teenagers especially long distance runners. These nutrients are high in energy which runners need to make it through practice and meets. Foods that include carbohydrates are whole grains, fruits, beans and even candies. Carbohydrates aka carbs are not as strong in energy as fats but many foods that have carbohydrates in them usually are a good source of fiber too.
