calories in mashed potatoes?!?

Hey girlz ;)
I use fitday.com, and I'm generally happy with the site...yesterday for supper, I had a cup of mashed potatoes...when I entered this on fitday, it came back as having OVER 700 CALORIES!!! (eep!)


I would re-check your FitDay calculation to make sure. I'm getting calorie counts of under 300 calories for 1 cup of mashed potatoes, depending on how they are prepared.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jess.
Kerstin,
I work in a nursing home, and they use alot of processed and "just add water" types of foods...they don't taste like "real" mashed potatoes...I'll bet anything they're the granules.
Hey Lori:
You're not going to believe this, and will probably feel just as silly about it as I did when I figured it out!
Actually, I eat them dehydrated all the time ;)
Golly...what a dumbbell! (me) LOL
Thanks for the info ::sheepish grin::

I vote that your mom gets an award like "Food Guru of the Year" or something like that :)
We can't really blame ourselves...I mean, c'mon...it wasn't really *our* fault
