People are encouraged to eat at least five portions of fruits and vegetables daily.
You should eat the same amount of starchy carbohydrates, such as:
- Potatoes
- Bread
- Rice
- Pasta.
For extra health benefits, opt for wholegrain or higher fibre versions that have less added fat, salt, and sugar.
It’s also important to add some beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other proteins into your daily eating plan – albeit less than carbohydrates.
