Jacket Spud Question

[candi-girl]

Hi all!

How can I work out how much carb is in a Jacket Spud? I have forgotten the formula.

Thanks

Love jacket spuds too!

A jacket potato is 25.2g per 100g, so say your spud weighed 130g, to work out the carb value you:

Take the carb value of 25.2g and divide by 100, then multiply this by the weight of your potato which is 130g which will give you total carb value.

So: 25.2 / 100g x 130g=32.76g of carbs.

Hope the above is clear for you!

A little tip to get the skin crispy, rub some extra virgin olive oil into the skin prior to placing in the oven................delicious!

Hmm.

Is this any use for you? It seems to cover just about every food you can think of;

The only thing I sometimes find irritating about it, is that the food is measured U.S/Imperial, but all else is in metric. (Bit like my spell checker! :? )

If they had had MY maths teacher at school, they would not be able to sit down for a year!
