Oh potato, I cherish you. <3
I've been eating like 4 potatoes for lunch recently. That's 400 calories, and holds me over till about 8ish....
My mom put me on a strict week-diet for just fruits and vegetables. But I always overeat on them. Dx
The problem is my mom expects me to eat healthy, but she doesn't buy enough of the healthy stuff.
She bought me a big-bag of potatoes, two crates of strawberries, which went by fast! And some grapes, half of which were rotten. My diet stops tomorrow, and I'm going back to eating about 1000 calories a day. :]
Edit: I have to eat something before I go to soccer practice. gonk

Soi Tsuba diet wise, potatos are useless calorie hord masters... sweet potatos are much better for you.
According to this chart I just looked at, it said sweet potatoes are 15 calories more than a regular potato. D;

Taken from Cooking Light - "Use your tastes to help you decide which to serve as a side dish. While the sweet potato has a sweeter flavor than its plain counterpart and slightly more calories, it also has almost double the filling fiber and more beta-carotene, which boots immunity and helps build bones. No matter which you favor, though, you're getting almost no fat and lots of nutrients. Both potatoes and sweet potatoes provide potassium, for example, which is important for muscle function, plus many other vitamins and minerals. Just be sure to leave on the skin when you're eating white potatoes—that's where you'll find most the fiber.
Potato, (6 oz.)
189 calories
.17 grams fat
4.2 grams fiber
Sweet Potato, (6 oz)
214 calories

7.1 grams fiber

Mmm, fiber. rofl
