Along with fruit and vegetables, starchy carbohydrates make up the bulk of a balanced diet. Try to include some starchy foods in each meal – and aim for a total of six servings throughout the day. A ‘serving’ of starchy carbohydrates is equivalent to:

2 large slices of bread

1 large bread roll, a pitta or a nan

2 Weetabix

a large bowl of breakfast cereal ‘flakes’

a large bowl of porridge

2 fist-sized potatoes or 2 pieces of yam

a portion (about 6 tablespoons) of cooked pasta

a portion (about 4 heaped tablespoons) of rice
