Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake calories: 17 per 1 cone (4 g)
This exact USDA record reports 17 calories for 1 cone (4 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 17 calories for 1 cone at 4 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 417 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.3 g protein, 0.1 g fiber, and 10 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type, 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 cone at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 17–121 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707931: “Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake.” 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 2707931, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 large waffle cone” 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 | 3 g | 13 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.1 g | 8 mg |
| 1 coneUSDA-listed household measure | 4 g | 17 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.1 g | 10 mg |
| 1 large waffle coneUSDA-listed household measure | 29 g | 121 kcal | 2.3 g | 0.9 g | 74 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Cookies and brownies
The comparison set contains 83 exact records in the Cookies and brownies USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707931’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 2707931’s 4 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium10 mg
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707924 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cone to 1 large waffle cone
USDA assigns those measures 4 g and 29 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 17 kcal to 121 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707924
At an equal 100 g, this record has 324 mg less sodium than “Cookie, chocolate wafer.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type
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 “cone shell; ice cream type; wafer or cake” fits. Inspect FDC 2707924 when “chocolate wafer” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707931 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type 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.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 1.5 g more protein, 7.3 g less total fat, and 324 mg less sodium than “Cookie, chocolate wafer.”
Only this record lists Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type. Only the comparison record lists Cookies, chocolate wafers. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type.
Listed only in the comparison: Cookies, chocolate wafers.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 4 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cone (4 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (10 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707931 with FDC 2707924 at equal mass; use their 4 g and 18 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707931 versus FDC 2707924 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 “Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake,” 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 2707931 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 417 kcal per 100 g becomes 17 kcal at 4 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 cone 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: 2707931
FNDDS food code: 53222020
The scaling for FDC 2707931 can be exact while the match to “Cookie, cone shell, ice cream type, wafer or cake” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 4 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
