I don't think a baked potato on a holiday, or at other times very carefully (not too often) is so terrible. It doesn't have to be a gigantic size.

Often just eating smaller portions helps.

Here is a website resource that gives food content:

Thank you for these links, they are very helpful!

I just wish there was some way to prepare... I suppose I should make myself more clear... I am kind of living in fear of letting my sugars rise, as there is still one or two people thinking my blood sugars could be a part of what is causing the problem with the pain in my feet. (Not just the auto-immune disease) So I don't want to get a high reading and set my feet off... I have just begun to be able to sleep at night (thank you methotrexate) and I do NOT want to backslide... so I guess I am just looking for some insurance policy.

I have been using Caloriecount.com to keep track of what I am eating (at least I have been trying to) and at least it gives you carb levels and sugar levels among other things, but I always worry I have too much sugar... like today I have 78 grams in my diet, but I have only eaten whole grains, and fruit and vegetables, and Cheese.... so I don't know what to make of this. I'll post my blood sugar when I take it, but it will be interesting to see what it is...
