Breakfast bar, date, with yogurt coating calories: 157 per 1 bar (45 g)
This exact USDA record reports 157 calories for 1 bar (45 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 157 calories for 1 bar at 45 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 348 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.7 g protein, 2.1 g fiber, and 158 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cookies, fig bars, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 bar at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708115: “Breakfast bar, date, with yogurt coating.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2708115, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 33.8 g | 117 kcal | 1.2 g | 1.6 g | 118 mg |
| 1 barUSDA-listed household measure | 45 g | 157 kcal | 1.7 g | 2.1 g | 158 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 56.3 g | 196 kcal | 2.1 g | 2.6 g | 197 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708115’s 45 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Breakfast bar, date, with yogurt coating,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708092 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 45 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 33.8–56.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 117 kcal and 196 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708092
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.1 g less total fat than “Cereal or granola bar, with yogurt coating (General Mills Nature Valley Chewy Granola Bar).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cookies, fig bars
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “date; with yogurt coating” fits. Inspect FDC 2708092 when “with yogurt coating (General Mills Nature Valley Chewy Granola Bar)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.
For “Breakfast bar, date, with yogurt coating,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fillings or frosting
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fats and sugars
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708115 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 348 kcal per 100 g becomes 157 kcal at 45 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 bar has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708115
FNDDS food code: 53714510
The scaling for FDC 2708115 can be exact while the match to “Breakfast bar, date, with yogurt coating” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 45 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
