White Potatoe - Facts

1 medium baked potatoe has 159 calories, 4g protein, 36g of carbs and 0.2g fat. With a good 4g of fibre, the potatoe is a great source of energy before or after a workout.

They have 2x the folate of sweet potatoes, folate is key to muscle growth, as well they have potassium for recovery as long as you eat the skin as well. White potatoes digest quickly, so eat them when you need a quick burst of energy and after a workout to replenish muscle glycogen!
