Answer 1

Answer:

1. The three different types of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

2. Carbohydrates are our main source of energy. They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system.

3. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that carbohydrates make up 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories. So, if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates.

4. Vegetables: all of them

   Whole fruits: Apples, bananas, strawberries, etc.

   Whole grains: Choose grains that are truly whole, as in pure oats, quinoa,      brown rice, etc.

5. I eat vegetables a bunch, and legumes. The carbs that I eat are healthy because they're unprocessed and contain the fiber found naturally in the food.
