Good carbs are subjective to what your goal is. Sometimes you need fast acting carbs other times you want them slower.

Sweet Potato (Yams), Steel Cut Oats, Whole-Multi Grain Bread (darker the better), brown rice are all fine. You may want to look into a supplement if you want something faster acting post workout, or just consume those foods up there with enough time to be available before/after your workouts. Someone else may be able to help you out more with a good higher GI carb.

any carb not processed and one that won't cause your insulin levels to spike through the roof would be good.
