Are boiled potatoes fattening ?!


Question: ?


Answers: ?

Boiled potatoes are not the best way to eat potatoes.

When you boil any plant product, it takes most of the vitamins and minerals out of it, and leaves just the starch.

Boiled potatoes do not contain any fat and are a good source of carbohydrates in your diet. Eating them alone is a BAD idea. If you eat most carbohydrates alone , it raises your blood sugar, which will make it crash later and you will get more hungry.

To avoid this, eat your boiled potatoes with a source of lean protein and a fibrous vegetable, such as broccoli. This will balance out your meal and leave you satisfied for longer and if you exercise help your body recover.

If you eat 10 boiled potatoes, yes, they probably are going to be fattening. So don't get carried away.

No, not unless you are adding fats/vegetable oil/broth to the water in which the potatos are boiling in. One medium russet potato has approx 100 kcals, and ZERO fat.

either way you cook them they still have alot of starch in them that turns to sugar.

You can look up potatos on calorielab.com and find the calorie content of a plain potato (boiling adds no calories). The size of the potato you are considering or quantity will dictate the calorie content.

Enough of anything can be fattening...it depends on how many taters you consume. ? However since they are 'carbs' some eating plans suggest they are less healthy than other options of similar caloric value. Sweet potatos are typically recommended over white...I prefer white myself.

yes, potatos are a no no, when dieting or not.
