Empty calories? I skimmed over what was posted a month ago, but sorry, you're not making any sense. Baz was talking about potatoes. Not potatoes baked in fat and oil and covered in butter, not deep fried chips, not mashed potato full of butter and milk. Just regular baked potatoes. Own their own, they are the most filling thing you can eat. Don't believe us, go eat a plate of them, and then see why you have no hunger cravings for 18 hours.
