Can u gain more weight from meat or starches?

Question

the reason im asking is because i hardly eat meat but i do eat more of the side dishes. i feel fuller off of potatoes(no matter if their fried, smashed, cubed, baked) i just love em. Also i tend to eat more pasta such as mac and cheese or spaghetti, no sauce, just plain with butter and seasonings. I also love broccoli now! I just think im safer eating these things and a little portion of meat to stay lean. well i never ate pork in my life and i stay away from beef but i do love turkey. Grounded or smashed into patties or on a sandwich and i only like chicken if i boil it with water and season it while its boiling. Does this eating habit make sense to anyone else?

And will i gain alot of weight from the starches?

Answer 1

depends on the fat and amount of food if you eat 10 hamburgers yell gain more wait then if you eat 10 potatoes

Answer 2

You wont gain a lot of weight with either.  However, your body stores excess as fat.  This means that you need to eat a well balanced diet, because too much of anything is a bad thing.  However, it doesn't sound like you're eating too many carbs, just make sure you're eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and get protein (it doesn't have to be meat, and you don't need as much as the average American eats)

Answer 3

you just got to watch out for carbs

please answer mine its in diet and fitness Am I fat or am I normal?
