So, I'm trying to include more fibers in my diet, and I was thinking about swapping white rice with sweet potatoes for my backloads.I might need some precisions though, since I think there are 2 kind of sweet potatoes, the white one and the orange one, and it seems the white one is the one I want, but I would appreciate a confirmation.Also, I read that cooking it a very long time is the way to go for the best insulin spike, but would that alter the fibers or not at all?
From what I understand white potatoes are the most starchy, and cooking them down a bunch does make them spike insulin greater, as far as fiber I'm sure some of its cooked down in the process, but I'm sure it's still got it in there. Have you looked into just eating a good amount of broccoli? Or a few quest bars on your backloads might help.
You can eat fiber, but you don't want tons of it. You don't want to base your backloads with fiber rich things
Yeah, I try to get my vegetables and fats earlier in the day, leaving post-workout for carbs and protein. With potato though, there is about 10g less carbs per 100g than white rice, so you need more of it. I find eating rice easier personally. There's not a massive difference between normal potato and sweet potato in terms of the GI though, normal potato just edges it, but has less carbs per 100g (slightly).
