I always assumed potatoes lacked much nutritional value but I recently learned that I was wrong and they actually have all the macros you need, plenty of protein and fiber along with lots of other stuff especially if you dont skin them.

I guess Penn Jillete lost all his weight doing a diet of nothing but potatoes and then later he added vegetable soups. Guy didnt even excercise.

Potatoes don't have very much protein. IDK where you're getting that information from.

Penn Jillete lost fat, yes, but I'd wager he lost a lot of muscle too. IIRC he didn't exercise and if his diet was mostly carbs, then he likely didn't maintain what muscle he had. You should have a good amount of protein in your diet, especially if you're losing weight.

They sure do have more than you'd realize. If you ate 2000 kcal of potatoes you eat 52 grams of protein (and about 60 grams of fiber)

That's a huge calorie:protein ratio. For both men and women this isn't really adequate. Also, you're getting a ton of carbs with that, which spikes your sugar/insulin among other things. Probably not the best way to go about weight loss.
