There are two major types of carbohydrates (or carbs) in foods: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates: These are also called simple sugars. They're found in refined sugars, like the white sugar you see in a sugar bowl.

Carbohydrates are a component of food that supplies energy through calories to the body. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients that your body uses to survive. Most foods and beverages contain some of each of these macronutrients in different proportions.

Examples of foods which contain mostly carbohydrates include grains, fruits, cereals, pasta, bread, and pastries. There are different types of carbohydrates, some are found naturally in food, and there are low- and high-quality carbohydrates.

Low-carb diets have become popular and have given carbs a bit of a bad reputation. However, it's important to understand that not all carbs are bad, you simply need to learn how to properly integrate them into a healthy diet.

Types of Carbohydrates

There are three basic types of carbohydrates found in food, with a fourth category that is helpful as well.

1 . Sugars: Also called "simple carbohydrates," these are molecules of simple sugars such as glucose, fructose (fruit sugar), and galactose, which are known as monosaccharides. When two of these molecules join together, they are called as disaccharides. Examples of these include sucrose (table sugar), which is made up of molecules of glucose and fructose, and lactose (milk sugar), which is glucose and galactose joined together.

2. Starches: Starches (polysaccharides) are "complex carbohydrates." They are composed of long chains of glucose. Your body breaks down starches—some more rapidly than others—into glucose to produce energy. A special starch, called resistant starch, may be especially valuable for weight loss and colon health.

3. Fiber: Fiber is a carbohydrate found in the cellulose of plant-based foods such as grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts, and legumes. It cannot be broken down for energy use in the body and includes both soluble and insoluble fibers.

4. Oligosaccharides: This fourth category of carbohydrates falls between sugars and starches. Oligosaccharides are a fermentable combination of simple sugars that have positive effects in our colons and are considered prebiotics.
