Cant stop eating potatoes

Or keep eating them but still hit your calorie and macronutrient goals each day.

Well, you could try not purchasing and/or growing them for starters.

stop buying them! and if they're home grown, give them away to friends and coworkers.

Listen... it's potatoes not potatoe chips or worse..... as long as you are hitting your goals, you should be ok. If you get stuck, then revisit this option. :brokenheart: Who said you can't have potatoes every day, anyway?

If they fit in to your calories and other nutrients, I say go for it!!

Potatoes are a great way to have something satisfying, they have protein too so can bolster them up to a decent filling item themselves with a touch of shredded cheese or whey protein, my potatoe from my diary today indicates 10% calories from protein, my goal is 35% protein so I added protein powder to it. With the balance it goes a lot farther.

Shredded potatoes and carrots cook up in almost no-time unlike their unshredded counterparts

Nothing wrong with that if they aren't prepared with tons of saturated fat (assuming you don't have a medical reason to limit carbs). Try to eat other veggies with your potatoes to make sure you get all your essential nutrients.

I eat potatoes several times a week and have for years. I say keep eating them. Potatoes = good!

I have found our brains crave what we feed them, a very true statement. White or yellow potatoes have a higher glycemic index, which makes you crave more carbs than the red or sweet potato, which have a low glycemic index. Like any food we feed our brain, the more you eat of it the more you will crave it, it's how our brain works. Try first switching to the red potatoes, then stuff them with healthy foods, like broccoli, or corn/black bean salsa. Take some of the potato insides out before you stuff and keep adding more veggies each time taking out more of the potato. Also try a plain sweet potato on other days, you can sprinkle it with cinnamon or just eat plain, again adding veggies to your plate as well. It's amazing over time how the brain reacts to what we feed it. I hope this helps.

Boil them! Or steam them.... they're fine until you add all that fat on! 40kCal per TEASPOON in olive oil! You probably use about 5 teaspoons worth when roasting.... do the math! Add healthy dressings like lemon juice and herbs and a tiny bit of olive oil or olive oil spray so it's just enough!

Umm... olive oil is incredibly healthy for you. FAT IS GOOD. You need fats in your diet and olive oil is an excellent source!

i LOVE potatoes too!!

mix them with other things, like roasted veggies, so it easier to stick with just one serving of potatoes.

and there's a lot of cauliflower/potato recipes out there. i've tried the mashed potatoes and they were awesome!

The olive oil is much healthier than the potato. Potato starch is digested much in the same way that refined sugar is. It will spike your insulin and could lead to disease. Olive oil raises your HDL levels and helps prevent disease.

Phew, I saw a couple harsh comments on here like "try not buying them" and I almost hulked out. But then I saw all of the other tater lovers out there said what I wanted to say and I calmed down...

Potatoes are cheap, fillinging, cheap, nutrient rich, cheap, and versitile. I eat them daily with no shame, and I stay within my goals.

I love a small sized baked potato with a scoop of vegetarian baked beans. A little cheese too if I am feeling frisky. Add a small salad or side of broccoli, and your are done!

I say if you like them and want them, eat them. Maybe you're missing something in your diet and your body is finding that in potatoes - like potassium, for instance. At any rate, as long as you're not frying them or putting on super fatty toppings, potatoes are good for you. If indulging in a potato a day will keep you focused on the good stuff, eat away!
