What do you put on your baked potato?

So many options! Salsa is yummy...as are seasoned black beans. Steamed veggies and a whisper of SHARP cheddar cheese add flavor and zing. I also just like to squeeze lemon and use Ms. Dash seasoning. Very LOW cal that way.0

I try not to have too many potatoes - but when I get a craving, I put a little low-fat plain yogurt and a little salsa of choice. I use Fage Greek yougurt and an organic mild salsa that has peaches & pineapple (which gives that touch of sweetness). I also have a friend that uses cottage cheese and salsa.......just experiment with low-fat, good for you toppings.....maybe roasted red peppers or something. Good luck!0

if you put a small amount of chicken broth with a littel butter mixed in it tastes like you used alot of butter, I use that and a littel greek yoghurt instead of sour cream0

depends on mood -- yoghurt, chives, siracha, pepper, chutney... yum!0

I usually eat baked potato with cheese & tuna.0

Potatoes aren't bad for you by themselves. It's usually the toppings that run up the calorie count.
Yogurt and salsa....does sound yummy!0 -
Plain greek yogurt with a little bit of cheddar cheese0

Also, I have at least 2 baked potatoes a week and I put everything on it most of the time. 1/4c cheese, 1 tsp butter, 1 T sour cream and 1/2 T real bacon pieces only add up to 166 calories.
What size potato do you use though?0 -
Dont have one often but has to be cheese and baked beans0
-
butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, bacon bits, green onions. Just measure out your items and log them. They are not bad for you!0
-
My fav topping is Fage 0%. I put it on my reg and sweet potatos... Yummo :happy: There are some great ideas on this thread I just may have to try too0
-
butter, sour cream, and a lot of pepper0

A few spritzes of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spray, light sour cream, a few broccoli florets, salt & pepper. YUM!0
-
I follow the black beans recipe on the back of the Goya black beans can, then use it to top a baked sweet potato; I do the same with three bean turkey chili. YUM!0

I like a really lovely crispy skinned baked potato, but it has to be baked in oven not the cheat microwave version!
Fav toppings include -
Prawns with a little low fat mayo and black pepper
Low fat sour cream with chopped jalepenos stired through
or for the ultimate comfort - a little butter and half fat grated cheese.0 -
Lots of salsa and boiled egg whites. Sounds kind of strange, but is soooo good.0
-
Also, you can scoop out most of the center and put shredded chicken with a touch of bbq sauce, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top.0
-
Cheese and Salsa...Always Salsa (very few calories but so tasty)0
-
Light Ranch or Salsa
I love the idea someone had about the Laughing Cow Cheese. I bet that makes it really creamy!0 -
If potatoes were truly bad for you then the nation of Ireland would not have survived all these years (I was brought up on them!).
Just weigh them and log them - simple!
I think most of my favourite toppings have been covered but if I'm in a rush then curried beans are good: curry powder or sauce stirred into a tin of baked beans in tomato sauce with a handful of sultanas thrown in is perfect (heat for five minutes in a sauce pan). Yum.0
