My problem is that I'm definitely not getting enough protein in and am using bread, pasta etc to fill me up. What is the…

Are 'starchy' fruit/vegetables bad for your weightloss?
I've seen a few people claim recently that fruit/veg such as bananas, mangos, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, white and sweet potatoes (if you count them as a vegetable!!) aren't great for weightloss. Is there any truth in this?? I know that white potato isn't thought to be ideal but I wouldn't have thought that bananas/carrots…

My start (and current) weight was/is a healthy weight, I'm just aiming to slim down and tone up a bit. Currently I do about 3:2 in favour of cardio.
