I am going to say potatoes...but there are trains of thought out there that lump things like legumes and avocados in the veggie realm. Which I don't think is correct. Both of those are high in calories. I will stay with potatoes.

Luvs, I think you are correct. The answer actually says Avocado, but honestly, its a fruit. So I think the original answer was wrong and potato is right. ;)
