For a low carb diet, sweet potato is not a good choice For example, there are approximately 24 carbs in one medium baked sweet potato (with nothing added) and 37 carbs in 1 large baked sweet potato (with nothing added).

There are better carbohydrate bargains to be had. For example: approximately 13 carbs in 1 medium stalk (7 ½ to 8 inches) of cooked broccoli and approximately 7 carbs in 1 cup (6.3 oz or 180g) of boiled/steamed spinach.

For more information and a vegetable carbohydrate chart, which you may print out if you wish to and use as a daily guide, see the related questions, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

You can but baked potatoes are not a good idea on a low carb diet. A baked potato is not low carb.

For example, there are:

  • approx 59 - 63 carbs in 1 large, 3 - 4 ¼" diameter, baked potato with skin (no added toppings).
  • approx 37 carbs in 1 medium, 2 ¼ - 3¼" diameter, baked potato with skin (no added toppings)

There are much better vegetable carbohydrate bargains to be had. For the best low carb vegetables, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
