The extra calories in most baked potatoes we eat comes from the sour cream and butter we slather on. Try this recipe instead. Photo courtesy Simon Howden, Free Digital Photos.

Baked potatoes don’t always have to be the Idaho variety, try the red and golden ones too.
Ingredients
1 Medium (6 oz) baked potato (about 2¼” to 3¼” in diameter) 161 calories
2 Tbls Nonfat sour cream 20 calories
2 Tbls chopped chives or chopped onion 2 calories
1 Tbls Bacon bits 25 calories
Directions
Poke holes in the potato so you don’t coat the inside of your microwave with potato.
Microwave the potato on high for 6 minutes.
Slice open the top and push in on the ends to make a white fluffy pillow.
Spoon the nonfat sour cream on top.
Add as much chopped chives or onion as you want. You don’t have to stay with 2 tablespoons, chives and onions are on the Sexy Beast Diet eat-all-you-want list.
Sprinkle with the bacon bits and chow down.
