Hiya!!

Carbohydrates sounds like a big complicated thing, but people often forget that they're just carbs :)

All this question is asking is which meal has the most carbs, when you think of it that way, the answer jumps out at you.

D. Three fried eggs and three strips of bacon

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D. three fried eggs and three strips of bacon

Step-by-step explanation:

Complex carbohydrates are digested and absorbed slowly, causing a small and gradual increase in blood glucose. With that, the feeling of satiety lasts longer, and as a consequence, collaborates in the weight loss process. In this group, foods also have a higher fiber content, speed up metabolism and control the glycemic index.

An example of a source of complex carbohydrates is the egg, so we can say that a meal consisting of three fried eggs and three strips of bacon, contains large proportions of complex carbohydrates.
