Shrimp chips calories: 170 per 1 cup (40 g)
This exact USDA record reports 170 calories for 1 cup (40 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 170 calories for 1 cup at 40 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 426 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.9 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 228 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, shrimp cracker, 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 cup 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 26–170 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 2708246: “Shrimp chips.” 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 2708246, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 chip” through “1 cup” 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 | 6 g | 26 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.3 g | 34 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 30 g | 128 kcal | 2.1 g | 1.7 g | 171 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 40 g | 170 kcal | 2.9 g | 2.2 g | 228 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708246’s 40 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Shrimp chips,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707428 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 chip to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 6 g and 40 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 26 kcal to 170 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707428
At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.5 g less protein than “Bean chips.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Snacks, shrimp cracker
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 “Shrimp chips” fits. Inspect FDC 2707428 when the exact wording “Bean chips” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2708246 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Shrimp chips” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Snacks, shrimp cracker 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 2708246, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Tortilla, corn, other chips” 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.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 7.5 g less protein, 6 g more carbohydrate, and 3.7 g less total fat than “Bean chips.”
Only this record lists Snacks, shrimp cracker. Only the comparison record lists Lentils, raw; Beans, black, mature seeds, raw; Flour, rice, white, unenriched; Oil, corn. 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, shrimp cracker.
Listed only in the comparison: Lentils, raw; Beans, black, mature seeds, raw; Flour, rice, white, unenriched; Oil, corn; and 2 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 40 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (40 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 30 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (30 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708246 with FDC 2707428 at equal mass; use their 40 g and 30 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708246 versus FDC 2707428 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 “Shrimp chips,” 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 2708246 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 426 kcal per 100 g becomes 170 kcal at 40 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 cup 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: 2708246
FNDDS food code: 54406200
The scaling for FDC 2708246 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp chips” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 40 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
