The typical western diet is energy dense: a lot of kilocalories compressed in a small volume or weight. most people know that eating low-density food is the best way to control the caloric intake and maintain weight. Dark, leafy greens are great as they contain a lot of essential nutrients like vitamins and fibres, and very less amount of fats and carbohydrates. Potatoes on the other hand are full of starch, which gets stored as fat in the body after its break down into simple sugars. If someone wants to consume a potato, then they should eat after boiling and blanching it, and not by frying it in oil. Fried food tends to have more calories than the boiled counterpart.
