The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 304 calories for 1 bar at 78 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 390 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13 g protein, 6 g fiber, and 250 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, granola bar, kashi golean, chewy, mixed flavors, 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 2708088: “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Chewy).” 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 2708088, 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 | 58.5 g | 228 kcal | 9.8 g | 4.5 g | 188 mg |
| 1 barUSDA-listed household measure | 78 g | 304 kcal | 13 g | 6 g | 250 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 97.5 g | 380 kcal | 16.3 g | 7.5 g | 313 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708088’s 78 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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
Magnesium250 mg
≈ 60% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber6 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Chewy),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708089 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 78 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 58.5–97.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 228 kcal and 380 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708089
At an equal 100 g, this record has 8 g less total fat than “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Crunchy).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Snacks, granola bar, KASHI GOLEAN, chewy, mixed flavors
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 (Kashi Chewy)” fits. Inspect FDC 2708089 when the exact wording “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Crunchy)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 39 less calories, 1.9 g less protein, and 10.1 g more carbohydrate than “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Crunchy).”
Only this record lists Snacks, granola bar, KASHI GOLEAN, chewy, mixed flavors. Only the comparison record lists Snacks, granola bar, KASHI TLC Bar, chewy, mixed flavors. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Listed only in this record: Snacks, granola bar, KASHI GOLEAN, chewy, mixed flavors.
Listed only in the comparison: Snacks, granola bar, KASHI TLC Bar, chewy, mixed flavors.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 78 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (78 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 35 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (35 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708088 with FDC 2708089 at equal mass; use their 78 g and 35 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708088 versus FDC 2708089 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 (Kashi Chewy),” 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 2708088 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 390 kcal per 100 g becomes 304 kcal at 78 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: 2708088
FNDDS food code: 53710800
The scaling for FDC 2708088 can be exact while the match to “Cereal or granola bar (Kashi Chewy)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 78 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
