Yucca is a poor diet choice because it is high in calories. Each cup of yucca contains 330 calories, 16.5 percent of the 2,000 suggested as a total daily intake for adults. Although you can eat high-calorie food when dieting, it limits the amount of food you can eat in a day. A better choice might be boiled potatoes, as 1 cup contains 118 calories.
