About This Food

Baked potato, widely enjoyed across many cultures, is simply a potato baked until it's soft. The calories in a baked potato is 160.9. It provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy and is a good source of potassium. It also contains vitamin C. It's generally suitable for most people, but portion control is important. A medium-sized baked potato per day can be part of a balanced diet. Baked potatoes are generally neutral for weight management, depending on toppings. I'd suggest topping it with Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lower-fat option.
