How bad is it to eat mashed potatoes? I love them, and I don't know how many calories are in potatoes. I know they're carbs so shouldn't eat too much but I know you're supposed to have some.

the potaoes themselves are actually good for you- but the butter and salt added to them will hurt your efforts...it's better to go with a plain baked potato

I LLOOOOVEE mashed potatoes too! They're so good. And actually mashed potatoes generally aren't that bad for you. Theyr'e just potatoes with a little bit of milk. What does start racking of the calories though, is if you order mashed potatoes at a restaurant or someone in your family is making them and puts a LOT of butter in it. Sometimes you can't even taste it, but the butter is the thing that'll really get ya. Other than that, feel free to eat mashed potatoes.
