Carbohydrates are important for a proper diet and this is why our total daily calories should contain 45 – 55% carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are classified into simple, complex and fiber. Simple carbohydrates are divided into simple natural carbohydrates and added sugars (refined sugar and its products).

Fruit is a simple natural carbohydrate. The consumption of fruit in a healthy person should be 2 – 3 per day.

The following fruits are fruits with the most carbohydrates. The grams of carbohydrates contained in each fruit do not include the grams of fiber of each fruit, they are purely the simple carbohydrates they contain.

Athletes and fresh fruits with a high amount of carbohydrates

Their consumption is important because athletes, due to their training, quickly empty their glucose reserves which result in a drop in their performance.

They are also important as a quick balancing of blood glucose, to be consumed immediately after training, before a meal with complex carbohydrates and proteins follows.


Practical Shooting and fresh fruits with a high amount of carbohydrates

During training periods, fresh fruits with a high amount of carbohydrates can be consumed as all athletes consume them.

On match day, their contribution is important, consuming them between 2 stages or during a break in the match, so that we do not have a reduction in the energy store in the body, resulting in poor performance in the next stage or in the rest of the match. Banana, apple, fig and grape are the best choices as mango, pineapple and kiwi need to be cleaned with a knife and this is not easy at all during a race.
