One thing I haven't seen mentioned is; are you eating enough? You sound to be doing a
lot of exercise. Are you getting enough calories to fuel all that?

Simple/complex aside, the point is that potatoes are high-GI, ie. they cause your blood sugar to spike and then slump with the associated affects on elergy levels, insulin production, etc.
That doesn't mean you should abandon potatoes entirely, but if you have them, have them along with some lower-GI veg so that your meal's
average GI remains low...
