Love baked potatoes? Not only are they delicious, versatile, and filling, but they pack a real energy punch as well. One filled baked potato for lunch will give you slow-release energy all day to help you fulfill your goals. Here are some delicious fillings for your baked potatoes that you can enjoy any time.

Chili Con Carne

A strong chili con carne with lots of tomatoes, beans, and quality minced beef packs quite a punch on a steaming baked potato. The meal is packed with slow-release carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Tuna Mayonnaise

Tuna mayonnaise is not quite as filling as chili con carne, but will still leave you full of energy until dinner time. It is full of vitamins and is an excellent source of omega-3.

Baked Beans and Cheese

This combination is a classic for a reason. Not only does the cheese complement the beans in their tomato sauce perfectly, but it is also packed with protein and slow-burn carbohydrates.

Roasted Vegetables and Mushroom

If you’re looking for something a little more plant-based, then you’ve got to try a medley of roast vegetables and mushrooms on a bed of baked potatoes. A good combination is red onions, sweet peppers, garlic cloves, eggplant, and broccoli.
