The Nutrition Twins Guest Blog on DietsinReview.com

Our “Twice Baked, Twice as Smart” friends The Nutrition Twins have contributed a guest blog post all about potatoes on DietsinReview.com! They shared some great reminders about the many reasons to love taters including:

One medium-size (5.3 ounce) potato has just 110 calories and is fat-, sodium- and cholesterol-free.

Potatoes are nutrient-dense, meaning you receive many nutrients for the amount of calories they have.

Bite for bite potatoes are one of the foods that promote the most satiety but with the least amount of calories.

Several of our clients who formerly binged late in the day who now eat a small baked potato (like this Chipotle Chayote Twice Baked Potatoes recipe) no longer binge later in the day!

You say POTAto, we say POTAssium. That’s because one medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato contains 620 mg of potassium; that’s more potassium than a banana to help reduce blood pressure and conquer stress

Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, providing nearly half (45 percent) of the recommended Daily Value so they can help boost your immune system to help fight off colds and flu.
