how to cook small red potatoes?

[viking88]

ive tried looking online and there is a million ways of cooking them i dont even know where to start..


i dont want to use the microwave because of it changes the molecular structure of the food and also i only want to cook 3 at a time


how do you guys cook them?

[redz]

You can boil them.

[gbrice75]

I always boil them.

Cut them if you need to (for uniformity). Start by covering them in a pot with cold water. Put on the stove on high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium/simmer and pierce them with a fork from time to time until they are soft but not mushy.

Strain immediately. You can even bake them from there with seasonings, etc. but I prefer to eat them just boiled.

I like them roasted in the oven with salt on the skins

We always talk about Oats, Sweet Potatoes, and Brown Rice as carbs sources. How do different types of "white" potatoes stack up to the more popular sources. I've never really understood why more people don't eat potatoes....I've just always went the brown rice/oats route b/c everybody says they're the best.

I have eaten 2KG of boiled white potatoes today...

Yeh they have a higher GI than brown rice but I dont give a fuk at the min LOL


If I was dieting and more concerned at keeping insulin to a minimum I would probably be a bit more picky with my carb choices....

Saying that however I would love to do a cut and prove that you can cut on white potatoes, white rice and even chocolate bars as long as carb timing is optimum and planned daily macro intake is achieved....

1. 4.4 lbs of taters?

2. Do it man id like u to prove that too.. Love chocolate! Now would this be dark unsweet or milk choc??

[redz]

Problem with the choclate bars is its hard tos top lol

^^^ seconded

[gbrice75]

Agree with Base here. I've been eating red potatoes and white rice for months now. Like Base, I'd probably tighten up on a cut, but that's because I'm anal. The differences would be negligible if you're doing everything else right, IMO.

white potatos convert to sugar more quickly than a yam or a sweet potato, hence the lower gly***ic number of the "non" white potato.

so let's forget about that for a moment. what i like to do, when not paying attention to diet, is get a bunch of the smaller reds, boil them in a pot, and then you can just grab one or two as the mood hits you. they stay in the fridge for a week easily.

1. Yep!

2. I think I may... Hmmmm would be intresting to see what would happen to go agains all the myths... Maybe I should start a thread... "all the things you shouldn't do while cutting, and all the things you must do"..... Then flip everything on its head and see what happens

[--->>405<<---]

just a bit curious as to why u ate so many? ill have to weigh some when im at the store to see how many taters that is

thatd be a good thread!

Well I have a 2.5kg bag and most of them are gone...

I had a 2 portions of them boiled with chicken breasts... And one portion roasted in the tray with a roast chicken, runner beans and gravy.... Oh yeah!

I like this, you should do it!!! Kinda reminds me of that recent thread where the dude claimed to eat anything he wanted (ice cream, chips, cookies, etc) and still managed to add muscle and lose fat - all because he was hitting his macros.

[Sgt. Hartman]

I remember that thread and I remember bashing that guy pretty good. My thoughts on that have changed somewhat but one thing that I think is overlooked when people say is "a macro is a macro" is natural vs man-made or genetically altered food.

I just don't believe that you can compare hydrogenated oils to natural fish oil, or that HFCS is as efficient a carb source as oats. Many of the supermarket foods are basically pre-digested before we ever eat them and that makes them inferior IMO from much more than a general health standpoint.

If we're talking about natural or unaltered foods though, I would agree that a macro is a macro.

[slfmade]

I wish a carb was a carb and a macro was a macro. My diet has been very easy, but I miss my weekly "newcastle". Are you guys SURE I can't count a beer as a healthy carb? LOL J/K

so u think i could eat 1 meal/day consisting of 2200cals with chikn wings covered in honey and still cut fat if i managed to crunch the numbers to come out to 300p/100c/55f ??

No, b/c that would only come out to 2095 calories. lol I'm just giving you a hard time.

[--->>405<<---]

id def like to see u cut while eating "taste good foods" like chkn wings coverd with honey and tbone steak and ribeye, french fries fried in oil,pizza and pasta.. with cream sauce.. i think the tuff part is gonna be hitting the protein without going over on fat and carbs...

[--->>405<<---]

hey slf what movie is that john goodman is in in ur avi?

Yep your right.... hitting quality protein is the only concern but I will find a way to do it.....

Lets make it two meals a day....

Ribeye steak, pizza, pasta, ice cream, chocolate, fruit, milk, white rice, white potatoes....

No low intensity cardio.... All intervals and HIIT...


Any more things you wanna throw at me... this could be fun

ill give it some thought.. dont forget the fries ..may be hard to calculate fat macros with fried food though..

also r there ever instances where macros dont exactly match up to cals and if so r u gonna have to adhere to cals or u going strictly on macros??

[--->>405<<---]

thx man

i remember watching part of that a long time ago but i also remember falling asleep..prob why i didnt recognize

lookn forward to it .. u mite become the nutritional forum hero LOL

Base already answered you but I agree. Aside from overall health, it wouldn't make a difference in your body composition whether a gram of fat comes from cheese in a pizza or a fish oil pill, a gram of carbs from a french fry or oats.

The hard part IMO would be hitting your macros while trying to include all that garbage food.

Yeh...

The problem with junk food is that it is super calorie dense with either fats or refined carbs.... You could easily eat 1000cals without even thinking about it if you were to go to mc donalds...

I think IF'ing is the best way to do this kind of a diet as you only have a few meals that you need to think about...


Something like this may work

Pre WO - Baked potato, Steak, cheese and beans - Cottage cheese frozen pudding (cottage cheese with berries)

PWO - Whole pizza with extra chicken on top - Shake with cottage cheese, milk, whey, bannana





I have just realise that I have completely hijacked this thread... Sorry OP

How about just one meal a day? (PWO) Could open some eyes.
