Tveen Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Okay, so I was curious as to what people have post workout in terms of a starchy veggies that is not a squash or sweet potato? Are there any other veggies people have tried?? I have my protein (usually something I cooked the night before) but I'm getting kind of tired of my starchy veggie part! Thanks!

Tveen Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 I guess my question is, would carrots, tomatoes, or any othe veggie work too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2013 Pumpkin and yucca are very starchy, carrots and beets are kind of starchy and would work okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_muffin Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 When you American guys refer to beets, what exactly are you referring to? Beetroot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bi0nicw0man Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 When you American guys refer to beets, what exactly are you referring to? Beetroot? Yes. We call the root part the beet, and the tops are beet greens. (Canadian) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2013 Parsnips? A good starch, but I keep forgetting them. What about jicama? It's referred to as Mexican potato... Jicama reminds me of apples, but they are about as starchy as carrots and can do you some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I would think Plantain would work too for veg, or maybe even Banana if you want to use fruit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtnab Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Are you eating yams or true sweet potatoes? Real sweet potatoes are shaped like yams but have a white flesh and more browish colored skin. I dislike yams but have found sweet potatoes to be a little more tolerable-- they have a better consistency (not so stringy and mealy) and a different flavor. Just thought it was worth throwing out there in case you didn't know there was a difference. (My mom had to tell me and I'm 29 years old!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
