Carbs are an essential part of a healthy diet but some should be avoided - sugar that is added to food and drinks count as carbs
and should be eaten as an occasional treat.
Starchy foods such as bread, pasta, potato and rice are also carbs and essential for energy. These can be eaten healthily (boiled potatoes instead of chips, healthy sauces on pasta and rice, healthy spreads and toppings for bread). Wholewheat is better than white bread, rice or pasta.
Carbs are also in some veg and that is a healthy source of carbs and fibre.
A good carb day would be porridge, shredded wheat or bran flakes with semi skilled milk for breakfast; an egg sandwich or with no spread or egg salad for lunch; chicken, potatoes and veg for dinner. Fresh fruit. Limited snacks and no sugary drinks.
