Stuffed Potato Calories

A sour cream and chive baked potato is a classic comfort food, enjoyed as a side dish or a light meal. For a standard serving of one medium potato with toppings (about 250g), there are approximately 250 calories. The majority of these calories come from the potato itself, which is rich in carbohydrates, with the sour cream contributing fat and additional calories. It's a satisfying dish that balances the earthy flavor of the potato with the cool tang of sour cream and the mild oniony bite of chives.

Nutritional Profile

The nutritional value of this dish is a sum of its parts. The baked potato is a fantastic source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. When the skin is eaten, it also offers a good amount of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. Potatoes are naturally low in fat and are packed with essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C. A calorie deficit can be achieved by being mindful of toppings. A plain baked potato has significantly fewer calories than one loaded with high-fat toppings, making the base vegetable a healthy choice for many diets.

When tracking your daily intake with a calorie counter, it's important to consider each component. The sour cream adds most of the fat content, particularly saturated fat. Opting for a low-fat or non-fat sour cream can be a simple way to create a low-calorie meal. The chives add a burst of flavor and a hint of green color with negligible calories. Overall, this dish provides protein, fiber, and key vitamins and minerals, making it a more balanced choice than many other comfort foods.
