I'm new to the whole sweet potato eating thing. About 3 weeks into eating them. I'm already bored of 'em.
Been just microwaving them and just eating it like that.
Anyone got any idea's to make them taste better? Seriously there so good for you I need them to help me.

sweet potato... bored
The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds. ~Henry Rollins

I have done several things with them.
1. Add cinnamon and splenda on top, with a few sprays of the spray on butter.
2. Add salsa on top
3. Cut them up and stir them into a meal with other veggies and chicken. Add low cal BBQ sauce to the mix. Quite tasty.
4. Bake them in an actual oven in batches. Put them in the fridge and micro later. They taste very different when baked in a real oven vs micro.
Those are all things I have tried so far and I enjoyed them all. Good luck, let me know if you come up with some wild idea too.SW: 305 lbs (June 15th, 2003)

what I do is I spray it with butter flavored pam, and rub the skin with cinnamon and splenda. I either then microwave it or wrap it in foil and cook it in the oven. When its done I split it open slab on some fat free butter and sprinkle more cinnamon to taste. I then sometimes douse it with a little atkins maple syrup.

cut them into strips and grill them
roast them in the oven
bake them in the oven
boil them and mash em (this is the worst of the 4 options as they loose nutritional value when boiled)"There are no OFF days, just days you don't go to the gym."

I'm gonna try some of these... thanks guys.
I was always under the impression that yams are the same as sweet potato but just found out recently they are totally different. I saw yams at the grocery store but it was in a can with frekin sugary syrup. Um no thanks...
So taste wise what is better? yams or sweet potato?The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and hear all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard.

I've never really had sweet potato as a staple in my clean bulking diet, can someone tell me about their nutritional value/advantages of eating it.. thanks
I'm currently bulking on skim milk, tuna, wheat bread, natty peanut butter, egg whites, brown rice, chicken breasts, sirloin steak(occasionally), salmon, sardines, apples, bananas, fat free cottage cheese, flax oil, oatmeal, and good ol' ON Whey... maybe you can sway my mind to take in sweet potatoes..

I usually just bake them, mash and add splenda.
Some times I slice them and steam them with broccoli and cauliflower, but to me it tastes a lot like carrots when steamed.
I've also baked, then mashed, add a few egg whites, splenda, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder and bake (tastes a lot like pumpkin pie). Same approach can be made to make it into pancake batter. Check around the net for more precise recipes.Changing my life one day at a time.
