Sports meals with sweet potato

WHY A SWEET POTATO MEAL FOR ATHLETES?

Sweet potato is often eaten as a replacement for potato, but the two aren't even related. A regular potato belongs to the nightshade family and a sweet potato doesn't. A sweet potato also has many more health benefits.

Whether you eat sweet potato (18 g) or regular potato (20 g) doesn't make much difference to the amount of carbs. But the body digests sweet potato more slowly. That's because sweet potato is rich in complex carbs. The body first has to break the carbs down into simple carbs before the blood can absorb glucose. This means blood glucose rises less quickly, so the body needs less insulin. The more insulin the body produces, the sooner it stores fat. A sweet potato meal is also rich in all kinds of vitamins and keeps you feeling full for a long time. So it's perfect if you want to lose weight, because you won't be hungry all the time.

SWEET POTATO SPORTS MEAL FOR LOSING WEIGHT

Are you working towards the sports goal of losing weight? Then it's important to eat fewer calories than you burn. We advise going 200 to 500 calories below your calorie needs, so you break down as little muscle as possible during the cut period. A sweet potato meal is perfect when you're losing weight, because it is low in calories and also keeps you feeling nicely full. Sweet potatoes are rich in fibre and a good source of antioxidants. They also contain a healthy dose of magnesium, which works as an anti-stress agent. In short, a sweet potato meal is super healthy and should be part of everyone's diet.
