Meat&Potatos

[dago]

we all know the old saying meat and potatos. I have read a lot about sweet potatos or yams being a great source for complex carbs. I eat them right out of the can sometimes but what about regular potatos? I never eat them but was just wondering... why not regular potatos?

Sweet potatoes are very good for you especially if you eat the skin (Vit A, beta carotene, potssium & vit C,. Has more fiber than Oats.

i prefer oats for complex carbs. I think its superior to sweet potatoes.

That's interesting jack tors. Didn't know the skin of sweet potato was that healthy. I always peeled them before eating them.

cut sweet potatos in syrup but its more like water with a little sweet to it, I don't really know how to cook them so I just eatem outta the can? I eat weird shit like I ate a steak last night with a bowl of old fashioned oats. I eat a lot of brown rice and baked fish too

what you are eating now is junk food.

No shit? It says right on the side of the can "Cut sweet potatos in syrup" I usually just eat them and pour the juice out

Don't eat canned anything. They are either packed in syrup or have a shitload of salt added depending on what's canned. Either way, you are ingesting a lot of garbage along with the veggies. I would never eat anything canned - fresh is best, frozen ok , canned never.
