There are simple and complex carbs, the simple ones coming from sugars and the complex ones coming from starchy foods like cereal and pasta.

A good carbohydrate counter will understand all about carbs, their function, how to determine between the simple and the complex. Simple carbs are essentially sugars, which do provide a certain amount of energy when they are ingested in the body.
