Which source of starch

Hi Jeff,

is fruit a suitable source of starch for lunch and/or dinner?

How about bread and pasta? Are they suboptimal but acceptable or only rice, potatoes... count for the lunch and dinner starch tasks?

According to what I remember from the lesson, fruit is ocassionally an acceptable substitute for starch, and bread and pasta are sub-optimal.

I remember reading in a forum post that "one day" a product like Exekial bread could be acceptable. 

In the lesson he listed acceptable starches as white rice, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and various types of squash. 

Thanks Julia, I think you remember well! What I was wondering is to what extent is acceptable to substitute fruit for a starch regularly - it has the big advantage of not requiring cooking. Ditto for bread! All the optimal sources require some cooking. For being an Italian my consumption of bread/pasta is not particularly high, but still...

do bananas do the work ?

Bananas are a fruit, so they count for occasionally filling in for starch.

I made it a habit to eat a fruit (like a banana) sometimes, right after my acrobatic training session. Could call this my snack. About 6:30 pm. Helps me to not get cravings before dinner, so you're able to cook in relaxation instead of buying something bad to fill your lost energy in haste.
