french fries

[coke]

sorry if this is a repost, i assume it is but the search didn't help me.

Are french fries very bad for you? Unseasoned and baked in the oven. One of my common meals is chicken, unseasoned baked french fries, and peas, corn, or green beans.

If neccessary, what should i eat in place of them? rice?

That's fine, but def keep em baked. It's like a baked potato. And yes, white potatoes are fine, don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise. Eat up

[quickups]

french fries you buy at the grocery is already "pre fried" when you buy, thus has more fat cotent that a normal potato.

But if you don't deep fry it, I don't see what the problem is. As long as you keep it in moderation, you should be fine. Be sure to read the nutrional facts though.

Maybe instead of french fries you can eat baked potato or mash potato?

Try making em with sweet patatoes instead. Taste waaaaaaaaaaaay better and you don't need to dip em.

[KryptoKnight]

Wait you buy the prepackaged kind? Make your own, it's much better. Most of the frozen **** is pre-fried like mentioned before.

Agreed, that crap has more trans fat the a double cheese burger from mcdonalds! lol

Make your own french fries, Buy potatos cut them to your size you like. Bake.

lol, i've never really paid attention to the ingredients. I just assumed they were potatoes.

so rice and baked potatoes to replace them?

[KryptoKnight]

Any carb source is really a replacement, but yeah rice and a potato would be a good start. Add some sweet potatoes too, they're just delicious.

I cut my potatoes into wedges or circles and season them with mrs. dash or steak seasoning....its good.

Sweet potatoe fries rock too! I actually like em more!

No they aren't that bad if you prepare them yourself. White potatoes have a high GI index if that's a concern with you. If so try sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.

Fries from anywhere else like a restaraunt or fast food are bad because they are deep fried.
