I love the smell of sweet potato when it is baked by my mother and served. Me and my brother finish our lessons as fast as we can as the aroma of the sweet potato distracts us to the extent that we are not able to concentrate properly. Though me and my brother have to share the delicious baked sweet potato dish, there is still sweet potato left for my father who loves to have the sweet potato dish that is prepared by my mother. Since i am thinking about dieting now and sweet potato is a favorite I want to know how many calories does sweet potato contain?
