Carbohydrates are a foods that can be broken down into glucose readily. Glucose is the energy that fuels the cells to the body. Simple carbohydrates are sugars which can be broken down into glucose very quickly and easily and provide readily available energy. The downside to these foods is that since they can be broken down so quickly and easily if our bodies do not need the calories the body stores them as fat. Simple carbohydrate foods include refined sugar and candy bars. Complex carbohydrates are the foods that break down a little slower, and give your body a more sustained release of glucose. This allows the body to not have the glucose spikes like it does with refined sugar. Since it takes longer to break down complex carbohydrates, it burns more energy, and makes you feel satisfied longer. Also since it is a longer release your body does not pack it on as fat quite so easily. Complex carbohydrates are things like whole grains, whole grain bread, and most pastas.
