Everybody loves potatoes and our Market is a great place to find really tasty spuds. Guess what? Potatoes are another fat-free food, if cooked right.
One medium baked potato without skin has:
- 145 calories
- 0 grams fat
- 2 grams fiber
Potatoes are high in vitamin C. A food is high in a nutrient if a serving provides 20 percent or more of the Daily Value for that nutrient.
Nutrient information is based on the USDA nutrient composition database.

What a difference adding butter makes to the calories! Baked or boiled is definitely the way to go. One can always use seasonings for little or no calories.
