Are vegetables and fruits better sources of energy?
If you have a sedentary occupation, your best bet is to get your carbohydrates from less dense sources, such as fruits and veggies. If you have a physical occupation, work out intensely three to five days a week or are an athlete (marathon runner, track and field), you are better off getting your carbohydrates from more dense sources, such as grains, legumes, potatoes, or breads. However, regardless of your lifestyle, fruits and vegetables can give you particular nutrients needed for long-term health, so you should always try to fit them in your menu.
