What do you put on your baked potato?

Queen_Adrock

Fat-free sour cream and a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and green onion. Hell yes.

There's nothing unhealthy about any of the ingredients you listed

I used to put like 1/4c sour cream and like 5 or 6 pieces of bacon and 2 pieces of ham...and I only have a calorie limit of 1350 but I try to stay around 1200.And I plan on having a nice dinner tonight with my fiance, so I really need to be careful with what I'm eating today.

So just put less toppings. 2 tbsp of sour cream = 60 calories, a few bacon bits is next to nothing. A small to medium potato is 200 cals or less.

Listen to Heisenberg.

Since I have been diagnosed with Diabetes I only eat sweet potatoes and I put cinnamon on it. Yummy

Ok, so only put 2 tbs of sour cream (60), 2 slices of bacon (80), 1 ounce of Hormel spiral cut ham (43), and a pat of butter (35).

Boom. 218 calories' worth of toppings.

I love advacado and horseradish. This sounds AMAZING!!! and of course I don't have any at home I know I'm buying this weekend.

I just put ketchup. I know it'll way up my carbs on it but I don't have to use a lot to make it super yummy and french fry-ish

I'd top it with all of that. With a little moderation, there isn't too much calorie content there. Just use real bacon, not those crummy bacon bit things...

I agree.. you could also used low fat or even fat free sour cream. Just use less of each of those toppings. Now you have me craving a baked potato LOL.

I like baked sweet potato with black beans and salsa.

I love baked potato's as well... one of my very favorite things to eat with a pile of roasted broccoli.

I have recently started using 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese and salad supreme to add a little zing. I have also added grilled chicken, teryaki chicken, broccoli and a little I can't believe it's not butter spray. Every now and again I will do taco meat and a wedge of laughing cow cheese, that is so yummy and very filling as well!

I made Loaded Sweet Potato Skins last night for dinner...1 skin was 122 calories (carbs 7, fat 4, protein 12) loaded with chicken breast, bacon and smothered in cheese. I used lean chicken breast, center cut pork bacon, reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, topped with plain 0% Fage greek yogurt.

the pic shows regular white potatoes also; hubby doesn't like healthier alternatives so he wouldn't touch the sweet potato ones. I didn't do stats on the white potatoes.

I put plain Greek yogurt on mine instead of sour cream. Fewer cals and more nutrition.

I LOVE baked potatoes! A large russet potato has about 165 calories, 50% of Vitamin C, 25% daily fiber, 33% potassium, 10% iron, and 5 grams of protein. Top it with 1/2 cup black beans, a medium tomato and 1/2 cup lowfat plain Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) and you have a dinner with 24 grams of protein, 28% iron, 67% fiber, 30% calcium, 89% Vitamin C, 65% potassium, about 300 mg of sodium, and less than 400 calories. Add a few slices of avocado for some healthy fat and voila!!!

Oh, and this lunch/dinner can be made in less than 10 minutes and costs less than $1. What's not to love???

I usually have baked beans, sometimes 5 bean chilli, sometimes vegan tikka masala or vegan coronation "chicken" depending on what ive made recently basically.

I don't think its an American thing. When I moved to America from England, I got some funny looks when I ate tuna on my spud

I top mine with broccoli/cauliflower, sometimes grilled chicken and LOTS of salsa. Healthy tasty and filling.

^^I do broccoli and cauliflower too. Sometimes with a little margarine and pepper.

soni_me

Homemade salsa and shredded cheddar.

yukon gold or similar types need less butter, they have a slightly butter taste all on their own.
