how many calories does a potato have baked
Potatoes range in size, of course, so the calorie count differs. A small baked potato (about 2 inches in diameter) has about 130 calories while a large baked potato (up to 4 inches in diameter) can have about 275 calories. There's more than one way to prepare and serve baked potatoes. Toppings such as butter, sour cream, and cheese will add more (sometimes a lot more) calories.
A medium baked potato contains 161 calories, 4.3 grams of protein, 0.2 grams of fat and 36.6 grams of carbohydrates, including 3.8 grams of fiber. This is 15 percent of the daily value for fiber, which can help lower your risk for cholesterol, heart disease and constipation.
