Can sweet potatoes make you fat?

[nTolan]

What do you guys think about sweet potatoes. I used to like eating them but I found out they have a lot of calories so I'm not sure if they're going to be able to fit into my macros
do you think that it would be okay to eat one a day or do you think I should avoid them

unless you have some sort of weird potato allergy then everyone should be eating them. they are one of the most nutritious foods in the world
