Potato's

Hi Folks

I wanted to ask any info on potato's.

I dont really want to cut these from my eating habbit as I love them, but it would be good to know if I eat maybe 2 or 3 times a week if that will do any harm to my weight loss,

I have changed the way I eat them by cutting down on salt when boiling, I wont put butter in mashed potatoes and instead of deep frying chips (french fries to our American friends) I now cover them in olive oil and cook them in the oven instead, I have started to eat more brown rice in place of potato's with some meals.

Cheers :)

i LOVE baked potatoes. I will eat them plain w/ ketchup on them. Even though ketchup is not the best, its better than putting sour cream and all that other crap on it... i like red skinned potatoes the best (and yes i will eat the skin)

 I'm sorry, but this is the lamest attempt at humor I've seen in a LONG time

Maybe you have atrocious grammar as well and you don't get it?

Low cal potato stuff....I like to mash up a baked potato and top it with salsa and a little yogurt.

 Is it so hard to believe that someone understood it and still found it lame? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Potatoes are a nutritional bargain.  Look at the values for a medium bake potato

http://caloriecount.about.com/calories-potato es-russet-flesh-skin-baked-i11356?size=2

Did you know it had that much protein, vitamin C and iron?  They're good for you if you control your portions.  I'd never give up my twice a week potato!

 Unfortunately, most of the potatoes I can find are twice the size of a medium potato, weight-wise.  :/  Still worth it, though!

And, come on, people, don't knock sour cream!  Light Sour Cream is like 20 cals/tbsp.  And, it's sooooooo yummy!
