I prefer to put a little bit of avocado on mine.2

One pat of butter won't kill your calories and slows absorption of the starch.1

Sauerkraut on a potato is tasty and low calorie and moist. I would usually add some pepper too.
Low calorie salad dressing is another option.

I like salsa and sour cream (60 cals per serving, full-fat)
Spicy black beans (heated with a little oil, cumin, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic, and onion) or bean chili. This is going to add some calories, but I often tend to eat this as my whole meal. When I do that, I usually add a little salsa, shredded cheese, and avocado.
Marinara sauce (or pizza sauce) and Parmesan cheese. You could leave off the cheese.
Salt and pepper, always
Muddle fresh herbs (parsley, chives, and basil is a good combo) together with fresh garlic, salt, and a teaspoon of olive oil into a paste and spread - around 45 calories, depending on how much you use
Pesto (still a fair amount of calories and fat, but less saturated fat)
Laughing cow cheese wedge
You could also roast potato cubes with your favorite seasoning blend instead of bake - I find the texture to be a little creamier than baking whole potaoes. Will still probably need a little oil for cooking.1 -

I was just going to suggest a Laughing cow cheese wedge.
Or some cottage cheese. I often make a meal out of cottage cheese and a baked potato with a side of broccoli.0 -

I like to put high-protein vegetarian chili and a 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese.1

YES.
It's getting cold again after a midweek warm-up. It's been far too long since I made lentil chili. I might have to make it and do this.1 -

Mmmm, I made black bean chili last night, maybe this should be lunch today.1 -
Olive oil, but I still use butter.1

My favorite way to have it is with lite sour cream and Brummel & Brown ("butter" spread made from yogurt - 45 calories per serving) + salt & pepper. Yum.1 -
Baked yams or sweet potatoes are naturally more moist than regular potatoes and have more vitamins/nutrients. I'll usually just grind some rainbow pepper on a baked sweet potato and it makes a lovely lunch.0

Moistness depends on preparation, they seem about the same to me (I like both just roasted with a bit of olive oil and salt/pepper, mostly). The nutrients they have are different, but about equal. Depends on what you specifically need, but I think both are good, variety is good, so both are worth eating.
In the US they are almost certainly sweet potatoes, not yams, in reality.1 -

i will just say it's awesome to see someone else who eats sweet potatoes with some pepper or a more "savoury" preperation like i do. The ladies in my old office used to cringe when i ate them with butter, salt and pepper and question why i'm not eating it with brown sugar, marshmallows / fluff, etc.1 -

I don't mind sweeter stuff on sweet potatoes, but I *love* savory stuff on them. Chili is one of my favorites, it goes really well with the richness of the sweet potato. I will also sometimes stuff them with Indian-spiced chickpeas.0 -
I have Low fat Philadelphia any flavour (sweet chilli is fav).0
