Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Starchy foods are our main source of carbohydrate and have an important role in a healthy diet. Starchy foods – such as potatoes, bread, rice, pasta, and cereals – should make up just over a third of the food you eat, as shown by the Eatwell Guide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pasta is considerably higher in net carbs but somewhat higher in total carbohydrates than potatoes. This is explained by the high dietary content of potatoes. A 100g serving of pasta contains about 25g of carbs, 4 more grams compared to potatoes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both white bread and pasta are high in carbohydrates. Pasta has 70% more carbohydrates than white bread-white bread has 43.9g of total carbs per 100 grams and pasta has 74.7g of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pasta. Though pasta is versatile and inexpensive, it’s very high in carbs. Just 1 cup (151 grams) of cooked spaghetti packs 46 grams of carbs, while the same amount of whole wheat pasta provides 45 grams ( 21, 22 ).

Detailed explanation-5: -Are potatoes high in carbs? Yes. Potatoes are a carbohydrate-rich vegetable. A medium, 5.2 ounce potato with the skin contains 26 grams of carbohydrate.
