Traditionally, I simply put salt, pepper, and butter. Today, however, I put beans and melted cheese. Yum! _________________ Oh Gloria, with hair like granite.

B-but when I did eat them, I liked it plain with a little salt and if the skin was done right, I like it a little crispy, cus I would eat the whole thing from the inside out. _________________ Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage -- it can be delightful." -George Bernard Shaw

A baked potato, skin and all, has practically no fat in it. It's a good source of complex carbohydrates, fiber and various vitamins. It's probably one of the best foods you can eat. _________________ wizzerd's not heer any more, mrs torrance im shadow i live in wizzerds head redrum! grrr!!! hahahahahaha

A naked baked potato has very little fat, and is a good source of vitamins. However, if you have to watch your starch intake - as I do - baked potatos become just a once-in-a-while treat.

It's probably one of the best foods you can eat. view Starch (a form of Sugar) is easily converted to fat by the body. Sad but true. The skin on the hand, is a great source of vitamins and such. All the sugars and starches (carbohydrates) are converted into glucose, which is the body’s key source of energy. After each meal, the glucose levels in the body rise in the bloodstream and insulin is released by the pancreas. Unused starches/sugars will be converted to fat for storage. So yes potatoes are good for you, if you can utilize the energy it gives you, however; if you eat a baked potato and then go sit watch TV etc... then you might as well eat a table spoon of raw sugar. _________________ Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage -- it can be delightful." -George Bernard Shaw Last edited by hulk on Sat Oct 24, 2009 7:02 am; edited 1 time in total

When I do, I don't really put much of anything on them. My nephew, who is notorious for mixing odd combos of food that surprisingly taste not too bad, like to put barbecue sauce on them. Can't say I agree with the tastiness of that combo, but if he likes it., that's all good. _________________ "Every heartbeat is a soundtrack to your life" ~ Kylie Minogue
