Bread, potatoes, rice and pasta are starchy carbohydrates, which should make up a third of your diet. They are cheap - especially if bought in bulk - versatile and full of energy. Plus, they fill you up. They are also easy to cook, if you only have a two-ring hob or are fighting for space in a small kitchen.
