Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast) calories: 194 per 1 can (341 g)
This exact USDA record reports 194 calories for 1 can (341 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 194 calories for 1 can at 341 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 57 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.3 g protein, 5.5 g fiber, and 232 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, unilever, slimfast, meal replacement, regular, ready-to-drink, 3-2-1 plan, 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 can 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 18–194 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 2710722: “Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast).” 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 2710722, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “1 can (11 fl oz)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 31 g | 18 kcal | 1 g | 0.5 g | 21 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 248 g | 141 kcal | 8.2 g | 4 g | 169 mg |
| 1 can (11 fl oz)USDA-listed household measure | 341 g | 194 kcal | 11.3 g | 5.5 g | 232 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Nutritional beverages
The comparison set contains 11 exact records in the Nutritional beverages USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710722’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 2710722’s 341 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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
Vitamin C66 mg
≈ 74% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin A579.7 µg
≈ 64% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium232 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.8 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710723 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 can (11 fl oz)
USDA assigns those measures 31 g and 341 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 18 kcal to 194 kcal.
- 02
Source identity: FDC 2710722 versus 2710723
The closest published neighbor currently carries the same nutrient, portion, and source-input evidence. The FDC IDs still identify separate source records, so the exact citation remains the deciding field.
- 03
Single listed source: Beverages, UNILEVER, SLIMFAST, meal replacement, regular, ready-to-drink, 3-2-1 Plan
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
The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2710722 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2710722 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast)” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Beverages, UNILEVER, SLIMFAST, meal replacement, regular, ready-to-drink, 3-2-1 Plan 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.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2710722, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Nutritional beverages” 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.

Source-equivalent fields
Different source identities, matching published reference fields
Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2710722 and FDC 2710723 match exactly. Their descriptions and source identities remain distinct provenance; matching database fields do not make every real-world version interchangeable.
Practical reading: do not infer a nutrient difference from the names alone. Choose the description that more closely matches what was reported, while treating the shared values as a standardized reference rather than a measurement of your plate.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710722 versus FDC 2710723 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 drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.
For “Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast),” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
drink size
Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 02
recipe or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
milk or cream
Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.
- 04
sweeteners and add-ins
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2710722 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 57 kcal per 100 g becomes 194 kcal at 341 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 can 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: 2710722
FNDDS food code: 95110000
The scaling for FDC 2710722 can be exact while the match to “Nutritional drink or shake, ready-to-drink (Slim Fast)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 341 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
