Potato calories by preparation: fried, mashed, and baked

🍟🥔 Fast food fries can have more than triple the calories of boiled or baked potatoes.

💡 The more fried they are, the more trans fats they accumulate, which can negatively impact cardiovascular health. Plus, they’re often loaded with salt, which can contribute to high blood pressure.

👉 If you're looking for healthier options, go for baked or boiled potatoes. These choices are lower in calories and better preserve nutrients. Small choices can make a big difference in your health.
