Anyone know what outback does to take a 100 cal sweet potato and turn it into 418 cals?? That's without adding the butter and brown sugar on top!!

    butter and sugar mixed in that they dont tell you about?

    i dont really know but thats my assumption. alot of restaurant food has added grease and sugar and/or salt that no one knows about (this coming from my friend who's a chef)

    Perhaps its the size and weight of the potato, I looked up Longhorn steakhouse's baked sweet potato and it was 360 calories

    I thought the exact same thing when I ordered it last time I was there. I didn't think a sweet potato that is usually pretty reasonable on calories could be so much! The butter could probably add 50-100 calories, maybe their nutrition info isn't all that accurate? Or they're assuming a huge potato?
