Pita, donuts, pasta, even chickpeas, are all great examples of commonly eaten carbs. But you might be surprised to find out that there are some other foods that are full of carbs too.

Despite getting a bad rep, carbs are important to eat.
One-quarter of your plate should be whole grains if you want to have a well-rounded diet. Half of your plate be fruits and vegetables, which often contain carbs too.
