Seriously, I can never understand how people have problems eating oats, cottage cheese...maybe tuna...but for me, my bodybuilding food that REALLY needs some spicing up would be sweet potatoes. I f*cking hate them, I eat them because they are low gi, and are a nutritional powerhouse (high vitaman A, C, fibre, low fat). But I just hate that taste, its so boring...YUCK. I sometimes use a garlic and salt seasoning but...it's not enough, you guys have ideas?

1. get the sweet potato that is white on the inside, they taste alot better IMO
2. cut up your sweet potato into chips, mix with a bit of oil/oil replacement sprinkly paprika/cummin/cayenne pepper/curry/herbs on them, and bake for 20-30mins
just wondering what foods you eat them will too?
before i ate cottage cheese and brussel sprouts in the same meal, for no other reason than for a good carb and protein source, but then i found they actually taste good together (complete fluke) maybe you can mix it with something in your meal to take the taste away

Hate them?.. are you refering to Yams or sweet potatoes? 2 completely different things.
Now regarding eating sweet potato, the best way to eating eat just like any carb is to mix it with something.
Why not bake the potato, rap it in a foil paper then keep in oven for 30mins. While its in the oven prepare yourself a minced meat sauce. Go to your local bucthers and ask for lean meat, get them to mince it. Dont buy already minced meat, its mostly 85% fat. A great excuse for butchers to make money on animal fat.
When you get your mince. Heat pan and and add mince when pan is hot. Not need for oil, let the little fat on the meat serve as the oil. Add chooped tomatoes, pepper and kidney beans and spices to season ( kidney beans + sweet potato = complete protein) gently heat and add to baked potato.
Thats one option....you can add tuna and gratted cheese to your potato.
