Carbohydrates are broadly classified into two subgroups, fast-releasing and slow-releasing carbohydrates. Fast-releasing carbohydrates are sugars and they include the monosaccharides and disaccharides. Slow-releasing carbohydrates include the polysaccharides, amylose, amylopectin, glycogen, dietary fiber, and functional fiber.
