White potatoes

[cokezero]

Whats the truth about white potatoes? Are they good for you. I am trying to bulk up but I don't just want the scale to go up but can the white potato be used in a clean diet?

the preparation usually makes them bad. dont fry them...just bake or boil them. and dont put tons of sourcream and butter on them...just my opinion of course...

Sweet potato is way better, basically a whit potato has a higher gi so it converts more of its carbs to sugar which is fat, ,don't quote me but pretty sure that's it

yeah something like that...it's a "starch" according to my nutrition book. and it spikes insulin similar to white bread and sugar.

So yes, sweet potato is better. White potato a distant second.

Individual food choice will not dictate a higher rate of fat that you put on only the excess of calories will.
The GI is irrelevant to healthy active people here is a good study on GI

Hope im aloud to post links if not please some one let me know and I will delete it.

In short if you like white potatos eat them or any carb source you prefer

So your saying that insulin response is irrevelant in fat storage....not a very sound theory...

aragon follows a "just meet your daily needs" philosophy..

200 calories from a white potato vs. a sweet potato will do diff things for you when you have certain goals..

yes.. it is about cals in and cals out.. but its also about what kind of cals... or we'd be eating big macs and whoppers all day with smiles on our faces...


white potatos are g2g pwo.. or the meal following pwo..

iv had clients who have cut using white rice and white potatoes.. it does work.. but not as well as a complex carb..
