According to the USDA, a small 138-gram baked potato contains 128 calories and 0.18 grams of fat, while the same amount of french fries has 431 calories and 20 grams of fat. The primary culprit behind this dramatic increase is a process that explains why frying food adds so many calories.

According to the USDA, a cup of raw green beans contains only about 31 calories, making them a naturally low-calorie vegetable. The total calorie count for a dish of stir fried beans, however, largely depends on the cooking oil, sauce, and any additional ingredients used.
