For the calorie content of other vegetables and a vegetable calorie chart, which you may print out if you wish to and use as a daily guide, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 2

Short answer: about 60 calories. (1/2 cup, around 3 ounces with no toppings)

Longer answer: This varies widely among different potato types but a very rough estimate is 15 to 25 calories per ounce with the average being 20 per ounce.

Also note that potato weight should be taken prior to cooking as the baking process drys out the potato and depending on the length of cooking the new weight will depend on the amount of water that has evaporated without changing much of the remaining calorie count.

----

Just as reference small potatoes often start around 6 ounces (larger potatoes up to 16 ounces or more) but may lose up to half their weight in the cooking process, but since the weight loss is mostly water, the remaining content has close to the original calorie count.

If this is for a diet, don't forget to add the calories of whatever toppings you may be using.

Answer 3

That depends on whether the potato is raw or cooked. If cooked, it also depends on how the potato is cooked. For examples by cooking method, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions. Alternatively, please feel to ask the questions again and include more detail.
