Potatoes
Even though potatoes sometimes have bad rap for being filled with empty calories, they are actually complex carbohydrates, meaning they’ll keep you full for longer than sugary foods. One baked potato can provide up to 12 percent of your daily recommended fiber intake. Mashed sweet potatoes are another tasty dish which contains plenty of vitamin A and vitamin C, as well as the antioxidant beta-carotene.
