Stuffed Baked Potatoes Can Totally Be a Healthy Meal Prep Idea—if You Make Them Right

Stuffed baked potatoes are the ultimate comfort food, but the most popular fillings-cheese, bacon, and sour cream-are not exactly the healthiest options when piled together. As a result, you might be tempted to avoid baked potatoes entirely. But the truth is, a whole potato has ample nutritional benefits and can have a place in a well-balanced diet. And we're not just talking about sweet potatoes here (although they are a powerhouse veggie with vitamin A)-white potatoes are about equal in terms of calories and fiber; plus, they're packed with nutrients like potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Obviously, the way you cook a potato matters (we're not giving you a free pass on fries!), but if you choose lighter, nutrient-rich toppings, a stuffed baked potato makes for a nutritious, satisfying lunch that's also easy to meal prep.
