• Sugar cookies are high in simple carbohydrates (sugars) and also provide short - term energy.
• Strawberries have natural sugars (fructose) and some fiber, but the sugar content is relatively low compared to the energy - sustaining needs for a long run.
• Baked potatoes are a complex carbohydrate. Complex carbohydrates are broken down more slowly than simple carbohydrates. They are digested into glucose gradually, providing a steady supply of energy over a long period.
