🍎 Today’s Health ~ This or That: Baked Potato or Brown Rice?

Which Has Fewer Calories:

  1. A baked potato.
  2. Brown rice.
  3. 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.
