    Yeah, not for cutting. I eat them definitely when bulking, though.

    Sweet potatos are great when cutting.....but pay attention to total carbs and calories.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    Have baked. You're better off eating a lot of clean food. You'll bulk up without the overload of fat.

    I would say baked every time... Unless you fry them in olive oil and you add the olive oil to your calorie total for the day.

    What fat? It is the same potato, calories wont change if it is fried or baked.
