Hi J'Bo - I have a sweet potato question for you.

What are you using for nutritional info? I hate the way fitday gives it. I think it's like a cup of cubed sweet potato. Seems to vague. You can pack the cubes tight or loosely into a measuring cup - ya know?

Do you have info by ounces? Thanks!

you're the best! do you think the 1/2 cup mashed measure would be a packed 1/2 cup? that seems easiest. i've been avoiding them lately just b/c i felt like i wasn't sure of carb/calories etc.

thanks so much!

Same here- I avoided it for the same reason! I'd much rather have a 1/2 sweet potato than brown rice sometimes!

Just fit it in the cup, lol....it's squishy if you get too much in the cup you'll be able to tell Geez, you're more anal than me!

I guess if you had a scale you could weigh it

 

[w8lifter]

Yes, I use a scale actually....5 oz = 1/2 cup FYI.

For odd shaped foods like potatoes I weigh them.

Is the 4oz potato and steak supposed to be the pre cooking weight or post?
