Summary Introduction
To review:
The importance of consumption of a diet with large amounts of complex carbohydrates for a day or two before the competitive event by the athletes.
Introduction:
Carbohydrates are organic molecules that are utilized by the individuals for the production of energy. These are broadly categorized as a monosaccharide (simple sugars), oligosaccharide (few monosaccharides linked together), and polysaccharide (multiple monosaccharides linked together). Polysaccharides are also called as complex carbohydrates.

Marathon runners preparing for a race engage in "carb loading" to
maximize their carbohydrate reserves. This involves eating large
quantities of starchy foods. Why is starch preferable to candy or
sugar-rich foods?
Give a detailed description of the structure, characteristics, and functions of carbohydrates . Then explain the importance of this macromolecules in human diet and how much or too little if the macromolecule can impact our health.
What are the essential amino acids and how does the body get them? Give an example of one of them and how it can be obtained. Briefly discuss why they are important to overall health and the consequences (health disorders) if they are missing from the diet.
Why is a protein's structure important? What can happen if there are any changes? Provide an example and cite sources.
