Which Has Fewer Calories:
- A baked potato.
- Brown rice.
- Both about the same.
The answer:
A Baked Potato
One baked potato has about half the calories of a serving of brown rice. If you eat the skin, you’ll also get more vitamin C, fiber, and potassium, which is good for heart health. To keep them a healthy choice, don’t fry them, and avoid slathering on butter and full-fat sour cream. Instead, offer fresh salsa and low-fat cheese or plain low-fat yogurt and chives for zesty flavor and less fat.
