I love sweet potatoes, but they are much more expensive then regular ones and being a student im on a budget.
Is there much health difference in them? Im bulking right now by the way too.
Sweet potatoes are much more nutritionally sound than a regular white potato.
In terms of bulking they won’t make much of a difference vs any other type of potato for most.

Sweet potatoes have one of the lowest glycemic indexes when it comes to potatoes. A white potatoe is actually quite high with a glycemic index of 77 out of 100, while a steamed (cooking method does matter) has a glycemic index of 56.
Note: Baking a potato will yield the highest amount of released sugars.
Baked potatoes are fine.
They also do have a great deal of nutritional value of their own (link: 10 Forgotten Muscle Building Foods ).
I eat them often, split equally between sweet/rice/Ezekiel bread.

I like them all, but the sesame always has an earthy, almost dirt-like taste to me.
