  • Yes, it's exactly the same with chips.
  • Although if eaten in moderation and if worked off later by running for example, they might not affect your weight.
  • Yes, if you eat them every day and you will also have higher chances of Heart disease. Eating fried foods too often is a big no no.

Obviously mashed potatoes do not make a person fat.

There can be many factors including genetics, overall diet and exercise.

However, potatoes do contain a lot of carbohydrates which means that people who eat a lot of mashed potatoes can have excess carbohydrates causing them to store the energy which they do not use throughout the day into fat.

Of course you can! However I don't know your circumstances. For example, do you mean you're wondering whether to substitute all your meals for mashed potato?

If you are talking in general dietry restrictions, eating mashed potatoes shouldn't be an obstacle in your goals to lose weight etc. Potatoes are naturally healthy - They're like vegatables (or classed as vegatables, even) and I've never heard that they're significantly less healthy in the form of being 'mashed'.

Also, they are hearty and carby, meaning your appitite will be sustained for longer, curbing potential snacking habits/ large portion intakes. I believe they'll release energy gradually, preventing sugar crashes and consequential sugar cravings etc.
