Starchy foods such as rice, pasta or potatoes should make up around one third of the food you eat each day
- Wholegrain options such as rice, cereals, bread, wraps, pasta and noodles, or a mix of wholegrain and white, can add extra fibre
- If your family (or you) prefer white bread, 50/50 varieties could be a good choice
- If you are roasting potatoes, brushing them with vegetable oil instead of cooking with animal fats is healthier, or serve with boiled potatoes instead
- Baked chips are healthier than fried and the chunkier the chip the better. Thinner ones have a larger surface area and absorb more fat
- Adding less fat when cooking, such as oil when frying or butter with potatoes, is a healthier choice
