Keep your carbs in check

• eat a variety of grains
• choose wholegrains where possible to keep yourself fuller for longer
• batch cook, portion up and freeze so that they are ready whenever you want them
• substitute some of your carbs for pulses e.g. reduce the amount of pasta on your plate and replace some of it with butter beans; likewise, add beans or vegetables to rice.
• try not to have carbs with carbs e.g. potato curry with rice or a chip butty
• replace breakfast with a non-carb/low-carb alternative e.g. smoothie, rosti, fry up etc.
