HELP!! Baked Potato
 
I have no idea what the nutrition info is on one...and the guide gives you only a baked potato from like a restaurant that's 10 points.

There is no way one baked potato is that much...can anyone help?

It's just an avg size, medium I would say. It's Yukon Gold, dunno if that makes a diff... ?

one cooked, large (5" or 7") is 3 points

Thank you! :)

Doesn't the book make your furious? The new Eat Wisely book lists all types of potatoes (baked w/veggies and cheese), but not a plain baked potato!

Ugh.

truelies is right, though: a smallish/medium baked potato should be about 3 pts. However, if it's really big, it can go to 5 or 6. If you have the Dining Out Companion, look it up under the entry for Wendy's restaurant. I've got an old copy of the book and it lists a plain baked potato at 5 pts, but keep in mind that they've got some pretty big spuds.

If you are making it at home your packaging has nutritional information on it. Both the old and the new Food Companions as well as the week 1 book has it in there.

This particular bag of potatoes didn't have the nutritional info. :(

I had a baked potato with salsa yesterday and it was surprisingly good. I would have preferred the butter/sour cream thing but I was open minded! I'll definitely have it again - especially when I need to feel full and have flavor!
