The science of weight loss

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the major macronutrient in a normal diet – making up almost 50% of an average daily energy intake. They are built from units called monosaccharides, or sugars.

Glucose is the most common of these. Carbohydrates are used mostly to produce the energy to run the body, including muscle and brain functions.

Carbohydrate foods include:

  • Potatoes
  • Pasta
  • Fruit
  • Rice
  • Bread
  • Oats
  • Beans
  • Sugar
  • Milk
