Complex Carbohydrates (starchy and green fibrous), examples include whole grains, cereals, bread, pasta and vegetables.These complex carbohydrates take longer to break down due to it's complex molecule structure.This leads to a slower release of energy as and when the body requires it.

Glucose is stored in our muscles and liver as glycogen.Any excess glucose that cannot be stored is converted into fat.
