Question: How many calories are in a baked potato?

Answer: A small baked potato, about two inches in diameter has about 130 calories. A medium baked potato, about two and one-half to three inches in diameter has about 160 calories. A large baked potato, about three and one-half to four inches in diameter can have about 275 calories.

These calorie counts are for plain baked potatoes with no toppings. Sour cream, butter, cheese, or anything else might add several hundred more calories to your baked potato.
