Having potato at lunch?

Acg67- Then you can go ahead and ignore my suggestion between the two breads. I put out my preference out there for others to consider, I supported it, and I still believe it, among all others, to be true. Even if wheat bread may inhibit absorption, I don't find it to be enough to block out the majority of all nutrients and minerals. If anything, you may be missing out on a miniscule bit, that you still would not get with white bread.

I'm going to retire.

For breakfast, I'll be having french toast with white bread and whole eggs, a whole wheat bagel, two scrambled eggs with no yolks, and a serving of baked potato.

We'll NEVER have nice things.

I was asking this because I was looking for something that might benefit my health more. I thought that the purity of a potato might be more health beneficial than processed bread! I'm not too sure what Potassium is all about. I am a bit of a noob when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Seems to have caused quite the stir. I am ever so confused! I think I'll just stick to the bread hahaha I wouldn't mind dodging the amount of calories in bread though... it always seems to make my lunch add up to a lot! and I have turkey bolognaise sitting in the fridge at home that I need to consume within the next two days so I thought potato + bolognaise was a good idea :P

maybe not!? :indifferent:

You can eat starchy carbs anytime you want. You act like your body is going to detect starches and immediately add +100 pounds. A carb is 4 calories per gram. It doesn't matter if it's potato or a piece of fruit.

So, would you like to continue to spew your broscience nonsense?.

What are you talking about? Eating starchy carbs one day or another won't impact your health curve as long as you remain active, but eating only potatoes as a carb isn't "healthy" and you should try to derive your source of carbs from other sources. Starches can turn to sugar more quickly, despite having the same carbohydrate amount as a piece of bread. We need some starches, but sometimes we need the long lasting effect of whole grain carbohydrates to stay in our system longer than a starch carb will. Since plants convert sugars to starches as a form of food storage, our bodies can easily switch it back when it comes to certain food items, such as potatoes.

I apologize. Something about this exchange makes me need to point out that even though plants easily convert sunshine into plant matter, when I eat plants I don't easily convert them back and fart rainbows and sunshine. But maybe that's just me.
