baked potatoes are fine in moderation, starches are good for you (in moderation). Moderation is key to weightloss, normal weight people eat normal foods like potatoes. MODERATION MODERATION MODERATION!

Well... their better than like an order of french fries but not great. Besides potatoes are so blah, last year, totally lame, etc. Why not try something more fun and colorful? I personally like to try all the sorts of interesting vegetables all around. They're a bit more expensive than potatoes, but are totally cool to eat. So while those potatoes are okay every week or so, don't eat them continuously. By the way... if you can't do a plain potato but don't want to waste calories... try salsa. It adds zip without ringing up the calorie and fat count. Hope this helps!!!

I wouldnt eat them all the time if i were you, because they are full of starch. eat them occasionally. you are better off with greens for your veggies
