A)Carbohydrates should be eaten throughout the day. Carbohydrates are converted to glucose; when carbohydrates are consumed in excess, the excess glucose is converted to glycogen, or fat, and stored in adipose tissue, which can lead to weight gain and an increased risk for obesity. Carbohydrate deficiencies lead to protein tissue wasting. Carbohydrates should come from the consumption of foods high in fiber and low in added sugars. A carbohydrate-limited diet is not the only way to avoid weight gain.
