Tag: Sweet potatoes calories

A 100-gram serving of raw sweet potato contains approximately 86 calories. This makes them a moderately low-calorie, nutrient-dense food, challenging the common misconception that sweet potatoes are high in calories per 100g due to their starchy nature.

According to USDA data, 100g of boiled, skinless sweet potato contains approximately 76 calories. The exact number of calories in 100 g of cooked sweet potatoes can vary based on the cooking method, as preparation techniques like baking can increase the caloric density compared to simply boiling.
