Best carbs for
everyday eating

This is the list for the carb on most of your plates: a bowl of rice, a plate of pasta, toast, a potato. It favors a lower glycemic load per serving and more fiber, then less sodium, with lighter credit for intact grains and roots over flour-based foods and for protein. Everything is compared per serving — the FDA reference amount, so a bowl of rice meets two slices of bread, not 100 g of each. Use it when you do not have a narrower goal.
