Due to being rather poor and slightly abandoned in high school, my major consistent food per day was a baked potato, no toppings aside salt and pepper. I hitched rides with a friend to school and back. I was on free lunch at school, I would try to steal an extra hamburger to sell for under a dollar, and that would allow me to buy a can of soup for dinner, heated over a wood burning stove. This was in Southern California around 20 years ago; time flies. Suffice it to say, I was not eating enough, malnutritioned, and it showed. Potatoes were my saving grace and I love them to this day. But they are not enough to stay healthy for months and/or years I think.
