Tortilla chips, reduced fat, flavored calories: 123 per 1 cup (30 g)
This exact USDA record reports 123 calories for 1 cup (30 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 123 calories for 1 cup at 30 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 411 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.3 g protein, 1.6 g fiber, and 153 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, tortilla chips, low fat, unsalted, representing 98.7% 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 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 8–349 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 2708210: “Tortilla chips, reduced fat, flavored.” 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 2708210, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 chip” through “1 large single serving bag” 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 | 8 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.1 g | 10 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 123 kcal | 3.3 g | 1.6 g | 153 mg |
| 1 large single serving bagUSDA-listed household measure | 85 g | 349 kcal | 9.3 g | 4.4 g | 434 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708210’s 30 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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
Magnesium29 mg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber1.6 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Tortilla chips, reduced fat, flavored,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708209 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 chip to 1 large single serving bag
USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 8 kcal to 349 kcal.
- 02
Source identity: FDC 2708210 versus 2708209
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
Formulation anchor: Snacks, tortilla chips, low fat, unsalted
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Snacks, tortilla chips, low fat, unsalted supplies 98.7% 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
The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2708210 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Source-equivalent fields
Different source identities, matching published reference fields
Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2708210 and FDC 2708209 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 2708210 versus FDC 2708209 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 “Tortilla chips, reduced fat, flavored,” 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 2708210 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 411 kcal per 100 g becomes 123 kcal at 30 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: 2708210
FNDDS food code: 54401122
The scaling for FDC 2708210 can be exact while the match to “Tortilla chips, reduced fat, flavored” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 30 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
