are french fries bad?

[AcousticDoc]

part of my diet includes a grilled chicken breast wheat burger and fries every day for lunch. Is this too much carbs for one meal?

EDIT: lol. OK I left out some important information that makes this post seem really stupid. The french fries I get only have 6 grams of unsaturated fat and no transfat.

HAHA nice one

Check out the EDIT. I'm actually asking a serious question. I don't know if I should spread the carb intake instead of eating it all in one sitting like that.

in your bodyspace it says "tired of looking and feeling like crap"
nutrition wise... i'm sure there are better/healthier ways to eat a potato
on average a "serving" of fries might get you 500+ calories(so if you are looking to add calories...)
not to mention the super high fat content(if cooked in oil... some people actually bake em in the oven)

i'm sure you know the obvious answer to your question... if you are looking for a "valid" reason to keep eating em... maybe try finding a reason to eat something more beneficial(or just eat less of it...)

that's my $.02

Agreed. You should not be eating fries at all, or fried anything from a commercial kitchen period if you want to trim up, reach goals, etc.

Well, you could. Just not everyday like OP.

Attempt to eliminate trans fats from your diet

Other than that, fit them into your macros

french "fries"

implying they are fried...not good

bake potatoes instead

STFU. Frying foods magically makes them fattening, but eating fats separately is ok . Avoid fried foods with trans fats, and even that doesn't make much of a difference from a physique standpoint.

Nothing (except stuff like trans fats) is 'good' or 'bad'.

But you could certainly make better choises, including the bun, that would help you achieve your goals.

sweet potato versions are very tasty

[Negativecreep0]

yo sonnn cut the potatoes or sweet potatoes up and put that crap in the oven till there nice and crispy, then add some salt and pepper. Tastes great better than fried.

[pengh]

You can make your own sweet potato fries and they are good. But they would be baked in the oven.. Yum my mom makes them and there good
