It's I forms of amylopectin are found in a lot of things: rices, tubers, grains, maize, etc. But whole wheat flour, for example, would have less of it by weight than refined wheat flour. Brown rice less than white rice, though I've heard it argued that brown rice has more harmful phytates relative to white rice.
One thing that I know doesn't have a whole lot of it, which I know you and all Belgians love? CHEESE! And vegetables and fruits. Fruits have fructose, which is bad for you unless it's buffered by soluble fiber, as you'd find in fruits. As a vegetarian, I bet cheese, nuts, and berries would be good things in good measure.

I find myself quoting Mallrats frequently as it's full of fantastic lines. I tried to watch it somewhat recently to see if it holds up and sadly, it's a terrible movie now that I'm well into my thirties. When I was a teenager or in my early twenties, the film was edgy and witty. Now, not so much.

Too early on a Monday for that. Staring at my coffee and glad that only female baristas work my favorite coffee shack.

This cartoon from xkcd reminds me of the advice that @Giles was given by his first boss…
I actually went along to a book signing by Randall Munroe for his new book last week. It includes such useful things such as how much energy is needed to illuminate the moon with lasers, and how many AKs would be needed to lift someone off the ground with their recoil.
