Is it OK to eat potatoes every day?
if you don't mind getting fatconsult the new food pyramid for reference
>>22075321People don't get fat from just potatoes. It's usually potatoes with tons of added oil/fat that lead to weight gain. Potatoes are actually pretty nutritious.
>>22075317you will turn into a potato
>>22075326People don't get fat from just oil/fat. It's usually oil/fat with tons of added potatoes that lead to weight gain. Oil/fat are actually pretty nutritious.
>>22075346Other Anon was silly for using the word nutritious. Potatoes are one of the best calorie per satiating foods there is. The misnomer they make people fat is because people add oil, butter, cream, cheese, etc before they will even touch a spud. It's kind of like how women can never lose weight on salads since they start ingesting several days worth of calories in dressing.
>>22075346>People don't get fat from just oil/fat.Most people aren't eating straight oil/fat.>Oil/fat are actually pretty nutritious.No they're not, they're refined foods that have had nutritious parts stripped away.>>22075361>Other Anon was silly for using the word nutritious.Potatoes are nutritious. They have a decent amount of nutrients on top of less nutrient inhibitors like phytic acid that grains and beans are higher in.
>>22075367Yes, but the word nutritious has nothing to do with whether it makes someone fat or not. Caloric intake is what matters when talking about whether people get fat from it.
>>22075317I heard a statistic once that said Irish folk back in the day were legit eating 10lbs of potatoes every day.
>>22075388True but you're less likely to consume too many calories with foods that are more nutritious. The foods most likely to lead to weight gain are refined oil, starch, and sugar. They're all fairly low in nutrients but high in calories.
You can live eating nothing but potatoes, so yes.
>>22075317No, it's not okay to eat potatoes every day, potatoes contain too much starch and you can develop weight gain and poor blood sugar control, potatoes are a good source of vitamin C so yea, it's okay to eat potatoes every day.
>>22075317No. Over 200g of potatoes a day will give you potato poisoning. Nasty stuff.
>>22075317Obviously. Especially if you're Germanic.
