Carbohydrates Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how much a food raises blood glucose (carbsblood sugar) are . A food with a higher Glycemic Index raises the blood sugar more than a food with a key energy source for runnerslower Glycemic Index. The way carbs are used depends Glycemic Index value is based on the state you are in. If you are in the middle of exercisea comparison with a reference food, these carbs tend to be used directly for energynormally either white bread or glucose. If you are at recovering from exercise, these carbs will go into quick access storage ([[Glycogen]]File:Glycemic Index Fellrnr.png|none|thumb|500px|A graph of blood glucose (sugar)for high and low glycemic index foods. If your [[Glycogen]] stores =Calculating the Glycemic Index=The Glycemic Index is calculated by measuring blood glucose periodically after the consumption of the food. Typically the measurements are fulltaken just before consuming the food, then at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes<ref name="Brand-MillerStockmann2008"/>. These measurements provide a blood glucose curve, and the area between the carbs will tend to be stored as fatcurve and the baseline measurement taken just before consuming the food is the "incremental Area Under the Curve" (iUAC)Some carbs are easily digested, The iUAC is compared with the fuel becoming ready iUAC for use quicklya reference food and the value given as a percentage. These 'quick carbs' are great in So a Glycemic Index of 50 means that the food raises the middle blood sugar by 50% of a run, as the [[Muscle|muscles]] reference food.

In some literatureAt one time, quickly digested carbs are considered 'it was believed that "simple' and slow digesting carbs are 'carbohydrates" had high Glycemic Index, while "complex', but this is not a useful divisioncarbohydrates" had lower Glycemic Indexes<ref name="ND"/>. The difference between simple and complex carbohydrates is based on the chemistry of the carb carbohydrate molecule - , with small molecules like sugar are 'considered "simple' " and big molecules like starch (bread, etc) are 'considered "complex'". This division into simple and complex is unfortunately crap (biochemistry term meaning 'not useful'). The digestion of carbs is a sophisticated system that does not follow this simple division. Some simple carbs ([[Fructose]]) are very slow to digest, whereas some complex carbs ([[Maltodextrin]]maltodextrin) are very easy to digest. The actual measure of digestibility of carbs is normally called 'Glycemic Index' (GI), which is how much the blood sugar rises when a food is eaten [1]. For instance, white bread (a '"complex' " carb, GI 70) has a higher GI Glycemic Index than table sugar (a 'simple' carb, GI 60). This is because highly refined flour in bread is more easily digested than table sugar (which is half [[Fructose]]fructose).=References=<references>Understanding <ref name="Brand-MillerStockmann2008">J.
