Carbohydrates are sugars in the food you eat that your body turns into glucose for energy.
Think of carbohydrates as simple, such as in sweeteners added to processed foods, or complex, such as starches and fiber. Complex carbs are the “good carbs,” says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You’ll find complex carbohydrates in vegetables, including mushrooms.
