If you are a marathon runner you are encouraged to eat pasta the night before the race because pasta has lots of energy in and the speed of release of energy from Pasta is slow so that you get it during the race just when you need it. It’s actually a bit more complicated than that though. The pasta has to be “al-dente” (slightly undercooked and firm) it’s the fact that the pasta is hard that slows the release of energy and sustains you for longer. Overcooked pasta is Higher Gi – al-dente pasta is lower Gi.
