Happycao, trust me, I don't like counting calories. It was for an article I am writing and the editor wanted to know. I thought what better place than this amazing community - someone would have the answer. And they did! Thank you Stockout and Amanda!

I hope this site doesn't become a site for nutritional information...

I think 80 calories is more inline for 75 grams. Color does not matter in the nutrition of a regular potato. Sweet is totally different.

Perfect! You are a dream. This is why I don't count calories. Counting sodium is enough work already.

I compared information from a couple of sites, did the math, and kept coming up with the same number.

Awesome! Did you use the USDA website? I couldn't find a good resource...other than you, of course!

About 60 calories.

Hi Amanda! Let's say 1/2 a cup (75 grams)...

We'd need to know the weight of the potato.
