The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 152 calories for 1 1-inch stack at 28 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 543 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 0.8 g fiber, and 180 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snack, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, plain, representing 99.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. 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 1-inch stack 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 11–1,005 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 2709432: “Potato chips, restructured, plain.” 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 2709432, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 chip” through “1 regular can” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 chipUSDA-listed household measure | 2 g | 11 kcal | 0.1 g | 0.1 g | 13 mg |
| 1 1-inch stackUSDA-listed household measure | 28 g | 152 kcal | 1.3 g | 0.8 g | 180 mg |
| 1 regular canUSDA-listed household measure | 185 g | 1,005 kcal | 8.5 g | 5.4 g | 1,190 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709432’s 28 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
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
Saturated fat2.4 g
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium180 mg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Potato chips, restructured, plain,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709433 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 chip to 1 regular can
USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 185 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 11 kcal to 1,005 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709433
At an equal 100 g, this record has 114 mg less sodium than “Potato chips, restructured, flavored.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Snack, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, plain
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Snack, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, plain supplies 99.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “restructured; plain” fits. Inspect FDC 2709433 when “restructured; flavored” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
Shared listed inputs: Snack, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, plain; Salt, table.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 1-inch stack (28 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 1-inch stack (28 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709432 with FDC 2709433 at equal mass; use their 28 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709432 versus FDC 2709433 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 “Potato chips, restructured, plain,” 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 2709432 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 543 kcal per 100 g becomes 152 kcal at 28 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 1-inch stack 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: 2709432
FNDDS food code: 71200300
The scaling for FDC 2709432 can be exact while the match to “Potato chips, restructured, plain” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 28 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
