    The chives are still good, and the meat and cheese are fine in small quantities. Try to choose butter OR sour cream, not have both. If you're looking to "stuff" it a little try some steamed broccoli, mushrooms, or cauliflower.

    Always put plain yogurt and salsa, then add green onion/chives if I've got them. Yum!!!

    Sour cream, lots of black pepper, and a little cheese! If I'm ever at a seafood place I use cocktail sauce. You could also get green giant brocolli and cheese and put on top....I think it's only 90 calories a serving!!!

    Try honey mustard on your baked potato, it sounds gross but it's good and low cal.. Tastes better than plan mayo or butter/sourcream

    I'm not a huge fan of potato's in general. They're bland and require seasoning to be palatable. Healthy options would be steamed broccoli and some light sour cream. Perhaps a slice of cheese. Or just cubed, roasted so they get extra crispy skin, and some ketchup.

    Plain greek yogurt with a little bit of cheddar cheese :smile:

    +1

    I like using the brown cow zero fat, it has the consistency of sour cream and has a similar flavor.

    I am going to have a baked potato for lunch. Normally I would load it with EVERYTHING, cheese, bacon, ham, sour cream, chives, butter, sauteed onions etc. I do not like plain potatoes at all. What are some healthy (but delicious) alternatives for toppings?

    I recently found an article on baked potatoes and toppings. Some ideas:
    1) ground beef with shredded cheese and diced tomatoes.
    2) strips of smoked salmon (this would be a pricey topping!) and chives.
    3) pepperoni, grated mozzerella and parmesan.
    4) sauteed sauage and peppers, topped with the parm.
    5) chili, cheese, and cilantro.
    6) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and sauteed with cumin, tumeric, and garlic, and mixed with Greek yogurt and parsley.

    Great idea from my former trainer: cottage cheese and salsa. Sounds weird but tastes great!

    I've also done "taco" baked potatoes, with taco meat, salsa, sour cream, cilantro
