Potatoes

A medium-sized potato is a rich source of vitamins C and B6, potassium, iron and magnesium. In addition, potatoes offer a great amount of complex carbs, your body’s favorite source of energy during high intensity exercise. And if you’re worried about the high glycemic index of white potatoes, don’t be – those numbers apply only when a plate of plain potatoes represents your entire meal. When potatoes are consumed together with meat, vegetables and sources of dietary fat, as the typical bodybuilding diet suggests, the glycemic index of all included foods is changed, and thereby the glycemic index of the entire meal is lowered. Potatoes are a great choice for anyone looking to build serious mass and size.
