Need some good high-calorie vegetables. Also some questions regarding potatoes and some legumes.
I am looking for high calorie vegetables. Obviously quite hard as, working in a Mexican restaurant, grains, corn, and beans are off the table.
So far I really only have yams and sweet potatoes. What are some other calorie dense vegetables I can go for? I can only hand so much meat, and while veggies like broccoli, carrots, and red/orange/yellow bell peppers are good they are more beneficial for nutrients than for actual calories.
The bit about yams and sweet potatoes kind of brings me to my next question: how are these paleo, but potatoes are not? As far as I can see a potato would be paleo… if you’re a caveman and find a potato growing in a field you pluck it and eat it. Simple as that. Same for peanuts and peas. What makes them not paleo because it seems just like if I went back in time… and came across them as a hunter-gatherer… can’t possibly see how they would be adapted to eat.
