1 medium sweet potatoe (yam) has 176 calories, 6g protein, 36g carbs, 0g fat and 2g of fibre (you can also spell it fiber, both are acceptable).
They are among the slowest digesting foods around which will give you a steady stream of carbs into the blood stream. This promotes a steady release of insulin and no quick sugar high and subsequent crash afterwards. Eat them any time of the day, but not after working out. You want quick carbs then. High in beta-carotene, an anti-oxidant that boosts immunity and aids in muscle growth and repair.
The Lee Haney brand of protein powders also have this included in it as well. This makes for a great shake anytime of the day.
