Baked Potato is low in protein: only 11% of its calories come from protein. Most of its calories (88%) come from carbohydrates.
Calculated with 4 kcal per gram of protein and carbohydrate and 9 kcal per gram of fat, so the total can differ slightly from the listed calories.
A plain baked potato is mostly starch and water, with almost no fat, so it is more modest in calories than its reputation suggests. Baking it with the skin on keeps extra fiber and potassium. Toppings are the real variable: butter, sour cream, cheese and bacon can outweigh the potato itself, while salsa or plain yogurt keep the total light.
Typical portion: A medium baked potato with skin weighs about 170–200 g, which works out to roughly 160–185 kcal.
Also known as: jacket potato, baked potato with skin, oven-baked potato, aloo, russet potato
