for better accuracy, you can weigh it out.. it comes to about 7grams of carbs per ounce.

I nuke them & I haven't actually pushed the cooked tater into a measuring cup - but I guesstimate that it's less than 1 cup for 1/2 a regular size cooked potato.

I'm usually pretty good with visualizing (I've checked up on myself) - but anyone have any idea how many cups 1/2 a potato is?

That seems so low in cals to me!

Sweet potatoes are an awesome carb! The best way to monitor nutritional values is to use a kitchen scale and measure. As you know, 8 oz. is equal to one cup. The "average" sweet potato, I found by measuring is about 10 oz. This may be WAY TOO MUCH for a person pre-contest or monitoring carb intake.
