Slow-burning starches give sustained energy. Starchy foods â also called carbohydrates â such as potatoes, bread, cereals and pasta are an important part of a healthy diet. They're a good source of energy and the main source of a range of nutrients. Starchy foods should make up just over a third of everything you eat.
