High-Calorie Foods That Are Good for You

7. Sweet Potato

It has the word "sweet" in its name, but that doesn't mean sweet potato is bad for you. This tuber is actually a great carbohydrate, especially for people with celiac disease who find their healthy carb options limited due to their gluten-free diet. Slow-release complex carbohydrates don't spike your blood sugar in the same way simple carbs do, and sweet potatoes have lots of vitamins and fiber. Whether, baked, roasted, or mashed, adding sweet potatoes to your plate is a healthy treat.
