Baked russet potato — high satiety carb source.
Often top satiety index in research. Eaten with skin: high potassium and fiber.
Best for
- training days and glycogen refill — 21g carbs / 100g
- budget meals where cheap energy density matters
Watch out
- portion creep — cooked volume looks bigger than the grams you meant
- sauces and oils that turn a carb staple into a hidden calorie sink
How to log it
Weigh cooked baked potato if that is the state in the DB serving. 1 medium (~173g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Best next to a protein source. Alone it is fuel, not a complete macro plan.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
The numbers above are for plain baked potato. Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Baked / boiled (plain) | ~93 | Matches the page numbers |
| With butter or oil | ~120–160 | Toppings, not the potato |
| Roasted in oil | ~140–180 | Surface oil on cubes or wedges |
| Fried (fries / chips) | ~270–320 | Deep-fried starch holds oil |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
