The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 156 calories for 1 bar at 40 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 389 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 2 g protein, 9 g fiber, and 95 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is formulated bar, high fiber, chewy, oats and chocolate, 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 2708082: “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar).” 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 2708082, 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.

The comparison set contains 28 exact records in the Cereal bars USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708082’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708082’s 40 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.

Strength-side signals

Dietary fiber9 g

≈ 32% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Magnesium76 mg

≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708112 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 40 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 30–50 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 117 kcal and 195 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708112

    At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Cereal or granola bar, high fiber, coated with non-chocolate yogurt coating.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Formulated bar, high fiber, chewy, oats and chocolate

    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 the exact wording “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar)” fits. Inspect FDC 2708112 when “high fiber; coated with non-chocolate yogurt coating” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2708082 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar)” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Formulated bar, high fiber, chewy, oats and chocolate is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708082, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Cereal bars” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Exact nutrient values per 100 grams

Carbohydrate69.8 g69.8 gSame listed value
Total fat10 g10 gSame listed value
Dietary fiber22.5 g22.5 gSame listed value
Sodium237 mg237 mgSame listed value

Plain-English read

The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations match

The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.

Shared listed inputs: Formulated bar, high fiber, chewy, oats and chocolate.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 40 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (40 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (28 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708082 with FDC 2708112 at equal mass; use their 40 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708082 versus FDC 2708112 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

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 “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar),” 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2708082 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 389 kcal per 100 g becomes 156 kcal at 40 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: 2708082

FNDDS food code: 53710400

The scaling for FDC 2708082 can be exact while the match to “Cereal or granola bar (General Mills Fiber One Chewy Bar)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 40 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
