What are healthy ways to eat starches?

    * Buy whole grain breads and cereals.

    * Eat fewer fried and high-fat starches such as regular tortilla chips and potato chips, french fries, pastries, or biscuits. Try pretzels, fat-free popcorn, baked tortilla chips or potato chips, baked potatoes, or low-fat muffins.

    * Use low-fat or fat-free plain yogurt or fat-free sour cream instead of regular sour cream on a baked potato.

    * Use mustard instead of mayonnaise on a sandwich.

    * Use low-fat or fat-free substitutes such as low-fat mayonnaise or light margarine on bread, rolls, or toast.

    * Eat cereal with fat-free (skim) or low-fat (1%) milk.
