What do carbohydrates often refer to in fitness and weight loss?
Carbohydrate is the main component of cell structure and the main energy-supplying substance of human body, which has important physiological functions of regulating cell activities. According to the definition in Chinese standards, carbohydrates refer to monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides (mainly starch and non-starch polysaccharides).

In fact, most carbohydrates in grains are starch, which can only be converted into sugar after being digested and absorbed by the human body, rather than the food itself containing "sugar", so "staple food contains more sugar" is actually rich in starch. Carbohydrates in food can be obtained by subtraction or addition.

Subtraction takes the total food mass as 100, and subtracts the amount of protein, fat, moisture, ash and dietary fiber, that is, carbohydrates. Addition refers to the sum of starch and sugar in food.
