Jacket Potato

How many calories are in an average/medium sized Baked jacket potato?

 

Just the barebones: still with skin on but nothing added. IE no salt, butter, topping etc

 

I have searched via google but answers range from 80 to 350 calories!

Depends on the size of the potato.  I've found this calorie link to be fairly accurate.

The answers probably vary because of the variation in the defination of medium. A scale is the best way to get an estimate, but a potato about as long as a pack of cigarettes and normal shape would be about 125 calories. Using weight, they are about 70 calories per 100 grams.

I've been told that fatsecret.co.uk is pretty good at calories in food.

switch the "value" from size of the potato to calories per oz. Then weigh your potato. You will know what that specific potato is. I use per oz for every food. a raw potato with flesh and skin is 22 calories per oz. or 1 calorie per gram. here is the link to the site I use. Same as Wendy..
