Potato chips, restructured, reduced fat, lightly salted calories: 141 per 1 1-inch stack (28 g)
This exact USDA record reports 141 calories for 1 1-inch stack (28 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 141 calories for 1 1-inch stack at 28 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 502 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, 0.9 g fiber, and 126 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, reduced fat, 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 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 10–929 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 2709437: “Potato chips, restructured, reduced fat, lightly salted.” 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 2709437, 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 | 10 kcal | 0.1 g | 0.1 g | 9 mg |
| 1 1-inch stackUSDA-listed household measure | 28 g | 141 kcal | 1.3 g | 0.9 g | 126 mg |
| 1 regular canUSDA-listed household measure | 185 g | 929 kcal | 8.4 g | 5.9 g | 833 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Potato chips
The comparison set contains 25 exact records in the Potato chips USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709437’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 2709437’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 fat1.9 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium126 mg
≈ 5% 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, reduced fat, lightly salted,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709440 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 10 kcal to 929 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709440
At an equal 100 g, this record has 186 mg more sodium than “Potato chips, restructured, lightly salted.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Snacks, potato chips, made from dried potatoes, reduced fat
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 “restructured; reduced fat; lightly salted” fits. Inspect FDC 2709440 when “restructured; lightly salted” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, reduced fat, lightly salted,” 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 2709437 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 502 kcal per 100 g becomes 141 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: 2709437
FNDDS food code: 71201200
The scaling for FDC 2709437 can be exact while the match to “Potato chips, restructured, reduced fat, lightly salted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 28 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
