A medium baked sweet potato (about 130 g) provides roughly 115 calories, 4 g of fiber, and a large dose of vitamin A (as beta-carotene), per USDA FoodData Central. It’s a nutrient-dense carb that pairs well with protein. Baking or roasting keeps added calories low; loading with butter and sugar doesn’t. The skin adds fiber — wash and eat it. Sweet potatoes suit a balanced plate in any season.
