My wife can't eat regular spuds (food sensitivity issues) so we do a lot of sweet potato instead;

The One Major Effect of Eating Sweet Potatoes​

...
"Sweet potatoes are extremely high in beta carotene, which is the same nutrient in carrots that give them the orange color," says Byrd. "Beta carotene is converted into Vitamin A in our bodies, and used for vision, but also boosts our immune system! Vitamin A plays an important role in increasing our body's immune response to certain pathogens, helping to keep us healthy and free from infection."

The One Major Effect of Eating Sweet Potatoes

While my chicken is resting post-roast, I tip the pan, letting the schmaltz and pan juices run into a spouted measuring cup, which I keep by the stove until I’m ready to use it. To make this dressing without roasting a chicken first, take ¼ cup schmaltz (I keep a stash in the fridge) and bring it up to temperature in a sauté pan before drizzling it into the other ingredients.

This dressing is versatile. I usually use apple cider vinegar, but another vinegar or even lemon juice would work beautifully. To add brightness, I throw in chopped herbs from the garden, usually chives and basil, but parsley, tarragon, or oregano are all welcome to join the party. A warm schmaltz vinaigrette can stand up to hearty greens like escarole or even kale, but there’s no need to shy away from the heat when you’re working with lettuces like romaine or arugula. All benefit from a light toss in the good stuff.

Ingredients

• ½ shallot, minced
• 1 tbsp chives, minced
• 1 tbsp basil, chiffonade
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• ½ tsp Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup schmaltz, warm
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a small metal mixing bowl, combine the first five ingredients. While whisking, pour in the schmaltz in a thin, steady stream. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Use promptly.

Schmaltz is the secret ingredient you need for your salad - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Using a warm fat, like bacon or duck fat, in a vinaigrette is a time-honored practice.

Here’s When You Should Eat Protein​

For optimal muscle gains, when you eat matters just as much as what you eat.​

EXCERPT:
Because protein is key to muscle building, most people focus on getting a quick hit right after a tough training session. While that’s important, the timing of when you eat the rest of your daily protein may matter just as much. Your body uses the nutrients from your meal or snack to build muscle for somewhere around four to five hours, says Brad Schoenfeld, assistant professor in exercise science at Lehman College. “That means that to stimulate muscle growth throughout the day, you should consume protein every four hours or so,” he says.

Schoenfeld recently reviewed the current literature and found that eating 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight divided over four meals each day best supports muscle building. So you’re looking at about 24 grams of protein per meal for a 130-pound woman or 32 grams of protein per meal for a 175-pound man.

Untangling Canada’s Food Facts and Fictions

Cookbook author Meredith Erickson has done her homeland justice with the exciting podcast series Field Guide to Eating in Canada.​

Simply factoring in the maple syrup, progressive rock, and halibut by the boatloads, Canada—a country of nearly 40 million stretching along America’s northern border—has a lot to brag about. But bragging is hardly the Canadian way, especially when it comes to acknowledging a homegrown food culture that rarely gets the attention it deserves. “One realization I had over the last decade or so when speaking with Canadians is that we often reference American food personalities rather than our own,” says Meredith Erickson, a longtime cookbook author, skier, and proud Montrealer—who has released an enlightening and action-packed podcast series, Field Guide to Eating in Canada, in partnership with Audible.
...
What is the single biggest misconception about Canadian food?
That Canada has no food identity. That’s because, I suppose, we have few “national dishes,” which is similar, in a way, to the United States. You have the hamburger; we have poutine and butter tarts. Our identity is really tied to our regional products, and that’s where the gold is. I’m talking about oysters from Prince Edward Island; crab and lobster from Gaspé; blueberries from around Lac Saint-Jean; Ontario produce like apples, corn, rhubarb, and wheat from the prairies; viniculture in British Columbia; and more great seafood on the Pacific coast and Gulf Islands. So our identity is inherently woven together with the abundant diversity of products from province to province.
