What is a carbohydrate? Carbohydrates are a type of food that represents an immediate source of energy for your body; they provide the fuel for your muscles and other organs, such as your brain. There are two types of carbohydrates: SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES: These are found in fruits and milk or yogurt and are easily digested by the body. They are also often found in processed foods and anything refined sugar. COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES: These are found in nearly all plant-based foods and they usually take longer for the body to digest.
