Hi all
before you dismiss this as a ridiculous question, check it out.
What do you guys/gals think about a plain baked potato, Chili, and a side salad from Wendy's?
Not sure of the exact nutritional facts, but I think it's pretty good.
Cheap as hell too

Great meal if you wanna fatten up a bit. Lots of simple carbs. When I eat at Wendys (which is probably once in the last 3 years) I get a tripple buger without the ketchup or bun. Doesn't taste very good but its filling and high in protien.Quote:

haaha dirty carbs.. lol
Ouch, shot down hard. That's why I ask the experts. So even a dry baked potato from Wendy's is bad? How can that be if dry baked potato is supposed to be such a good carb source? Is it just because it's from Wendy's, doesn't make much sense to me.Quote:

I dont think they were focusing on the baked potato, probably the chilli (which is high in sodium).....but im not for sure.

A white potato is a very high GI food, with absolutely no protein. (perhaps 2 grams of incomplete carbs) The rest of the meal does little to fill protein requirements as well. It's basically just a high gi carb meal that won't promote fat loss, nor encourage anabolism and muscular growth through adequate amino acid pool supplementation.
Now, potatoes and chicken breast as a solid post-workout meal including R-ALA, Biotin, and V.S., well, that's ideal. High gi foods pwo are a very good idea, and you also want to keep fat low/null in such meals. So, white potatoes are not really "bad", but they are bad OR good dependent upon WHEN/WHY/WITH WHAT you consume them.

I am not familiar with the term "incomplete carb." Will you please explain?Quote:
