Your favorite healthy carbs?

[StarStruck]

So I started introducing some more carbs in my diet and I came alive. My diet before that was mostly fresh cut meats and veggies and it was great but I felt like missing something. It seems I require to eat more carbs. What are your favorite carbs for your choosing? I would like to do some new inspiration.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, plantains, white pasta, white rice...
I cook all this with a good amount of fat (20/30g), usually coconut oil, red palm, olive, duck fat, butter....

I don't bother with legumes or pseudocereals, it's often boring or disgusting, especially without fat.

@Schizophonia sounds good. I’m eating similar carbs. Personally I prefer brown rice. Legumes are my thing though: kidney beans in a chicken wrap is to die for.

Congrats ? always a good decision.

For breakfast oats, fruits and other wholegrains like quinoa , wheat, spelt or buckwheat work well

You can also try whole wheat pasta or other types of pasta like lentil, bean, chickpea, edamame etc. - go high fibre when you can.

Regular potatoes are awesome too when made as whole rather than as french fries. I use them in batch cooking all the time. Jacket potato with bean curry and styr fried veggies takes a while to make but its worth it

Raised as said above can be made in thousand different ways if you're a bit creative

And don't forget starchy veg

@StarStruck Try adding legumes to your diet, they are the best. Lentils, Fava beans, white beans, chickpeas are all great.
