Why are Potatoes considered bad?

COMPARED to other veggies, no they are not calorically dense, but COMPARED to other veggies, for example broccoli, cauliflower, etc.

 

I meant the statement of "they're like eating white sugar" from the guy I quoted.

 

Thanks mate! Was just having one last browse of the forum before I head off to get weighed in when I saw that :good

 

Potatoes are complex carb, starch = complex carbs. Great for energy, but store as fat easier than less starchy carbs as you mentioned. Potatoes should be a fighters friend.

 

Lots of starch. It could make loosing those last few pounds tough.

 

I've always eaten them, obviously you need some other veg with it and also a source of protein and thats a meal.
