Sweet potatoes

hmg90 · July 2014

Anyone knows the definite number of calories and carbs per 100 gram for sweet potatoes?

I eat a baked sweet potato, without skin, pretty often for lunch. I buy them loose at the store and I have noticed when I look it up in the database, the numbers are so different! Even the "generic" numbers vary.

Anyone knows?

Not exactly sure but I'd also like to know if someone has an answer. I LOVE sweet potatoes!

From what I can tell an 8oz sweet potato is about 150 calories.

Edit:
This is what I found:

So, does 86 calories & 20 g carbs for 100 g of sweet potato sound right?

From the usda website a "raw, unprepared" sweet potato is 86 calories per 100 grams. Here's a link to their food database. Type in "sweet potato" in the box and you can choose from the entry that most closely fits how you prepare yours.
