Baked potato calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of baked potato contains 93 calories, with 2 g of protein, 21.6 g of carbohydrate and 0.1 g of fat. It provides 1.5 g of fiber and 1.7 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
A baked potato concentrates slightly as it loses water in the oven, so it runs a touch higher than boiled — a medium one is about 161 calories, and that is before anything goes on top. The skin is where most of the fibre is, and baking is the method that makes it worth eating. Butter, cheese and beans are where jacket potatoes actually earn their reputation.
