About Carbohydrate

A key source of energy; includes starches and sugars. Choosing higher-fibre, wholegrain starchy foods supports steady energy and gut health.

⚠️ Too little

Very low carbohydrate intake may reduce exercise performance for some people and can make fibre intake harder if not planned.

🚫 Too much

Excess calories from refined carbohydrates and sugary foods/drinks can contribute to weight gain and dental issues.
