Sport How much sugar?

Sport Fitness
I have been working out seriously now for about 3 months. I just recently started to really focus on eating more protein and less junk. About three days into this I felt like i was going to pass out after working out. I caved and went and ate a cookie. It definetly made me feel better right away. I realized that I hadn't had a drop of sugar in those three days. So how much do i want to consume a day to keep my body going. What are some suggested foods to eat in order to get the required amount of sugar? BTW I am 5'9 145. thanks
 
40, 50g?

also depends what TYPE of sugar.
 
Hmm, well thats difficult, because its best to have as little sugar as possible. Try eating alot of complex carbohydrates (oatmeal, 100% wholemeal bread etc...) and see how that goes.
 
Whoooo boy, talk about passing out, I came the closest to passing out/blowing chunks from overexertion as I probably ever have in my life today. Trying out a new martial arts school, with some tough conditioning. Apparently, I need to work on my breathing. I breathe out way too much and breathe in way too little. I gotta find my funk again.
