Whats more fattening?

everyone says potatoes are so fattening and youll get fat right away, so whats more fattening eating a bowl of dryers loaded cookies and cream- BIG bowl or 2 potatoes plain

The ice cream - by *far*, because not only do you have the milkfat in the cream, you have a lot of refined sugar that takes little energy for the body to break down.

2 medium-sized Potatoes would have 1/5 of the calories of that particular ice cream does, none of the fat, and the added bonus that starch in a potato requires the body to work somewhat harder to break it down into sugar, and takes longer to do so.

So, if you spike your blood sugar by eating ice cream and can't work off all those calories within a few hours (impossible), all that stuff will get converted to fat, and packed everywhere you don't want it. A potato digests much more slowly, is much more filling, so you eat less of it, and a lot of the calories are burned by your body working harder to digest it. Ice cream, however, requires little work at all.
