When your trying to lose weight how many sweet potatoes can you eat since they are fairly high in calories and sugar.

I've been swapping out bread for sweet potatoes and pumpkin and I eat about 1 cup of pumpkin and 3 large sweet potatoes a day is this a good plan for weight loss?

    Depends on how many carbs you need to eat in a day.

    On my workout days, I will do north of 400 gr of carbs...
    that is like 2 sweet potatoes, and a cup or two of rice.

    I usually do an hour of cardio on the stairmaster or 1 hour alternating between elliptical and running with pilates and light weights.
    I'm 5'7 and 120 lbs and I'm trying to tone up and lose 1-2 lbs of fat around my stomach what would be a good carb daily allowance?
