Could anyone help me estimate the calories in a giant sweet potato (7 inches long, 3 inches wide) cooked? I havent gotten a measuring set again so its hard to tell and it doesnt help that the database tends to measure by grams or cups.

    Yea you need a scale. They are only $20 at BB&B.

    Can you weigh it? My guess is something that large would weigh at least 300-350 grams. The average small sweet potato I eat weighs between 100-150 grams. 100 grams is really small.

    Maybe try to compare the weight in your hand if you don't have a scale

    I had a medium sized one on Sunday and it was 305 grams. It was about 3" x 5". Hope that helps.

    Weigh it on the scale at the grocery store when you buy it.
