Toast and chips are still simple carbohydrates.
2 comments

Chips are made from potato. That's a complex carb.

Wholemeal toast would he a complex carb. White bread would be a complex carb in the form of a refined starch - still not a simple carb.

Sorry, yes. Wrote "carbohydrate", deleted it, phone suggested "simple" because autocorrect, and like a dolt I went right ahead. :-)
Aware of this. My point was purely derision.

A lot of nutritional fads are indistinguishable from religion. Scales are always balanced, not necessarily visibly.
