Q: hi mike, im bulking at the moment, and wondering if potatoes are a good source of carbs? it wont be an everyday carb, but maybe a couple times a week. ive heard from somewhere they ahve lots of sugar, so they are bad? is this true?

A: Potatoes are not the best carb choice. They don't contain sugar as such, but your body digests them very quickly, like sugar, so they have the same effect. However couple times a week potatoes are not going to hurt your progress. Of all potatoes, the best choice are young small red potatoes boiled with skin. Sweet potatoes are an even better choice.
