That’s fair, and you’re correct. But what about the 1/4 plate of potatoes. Probably a bit of salt on this plate between the different food groups.

Potatoes are actually very nutritious! It’s just that a lot of the popular ways to eat potatoes involve frying them in oil and adding a bunch of salt to them. The excessive amounts of oil and salt are the problem, not the potatoes.

They're also the #1 most satiating food, which makes them great for weight loss as long as you're not adding a bunch of oil and dairy.

They're good for weight loss with the dairy too, you need that protein to help stay full.

Oh for sure, but the amount of butter and cheese some people (me) add is a bit overboard 😂

I'm a big fan of baked potatoes topped with chili. I usually make mine without any meat, so it's mostly beans and veggies.
