Do you guys always make sure you are eating wholegrain pasta/ravioli, brown rice etc or do you just eat whatever tastes best in your opinion?

I'm assuming white rice and normal pasta would be simple carbs and be the same crappy carbs that are in white bread.

Cheers

Also one other thing. Are normal oats simple carbs as well as I just realised you can actually get wholemeal oats.

When people talk about simple/complex carbs they're normally referring to the speed of absorption and the blood glusoce spike caused by the food. Oats will always be pretty slow digesting- being a fairly unrefined sourv source of carbs- things like corb flakes and rice kripsies will be higher GI/GL/II; cause more of an insuliin spike/ are more rapidly digested/ than whole oats etc-

you should also consider the role of protein and fat when thnking abot the II of meals tho- as long as calories are kept within check and there isn't a massive insulin spike at an innapropriate time tyhen there's nothing to worrry about if you're having balanced meals: i.e protein, slow carbs and fibrous veg regularly!
