% Daily Value is how much 100 g contributes to the FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4 years and older, the figures on US nutrition labels; a dash means there is no Daily Value for that nutrient. "Not reported" means USDA has no measurement for this food, not that it contains none.
How French Fries fits common diet targets
- Net carbs
- 16.9g
- per 100 g
- Protein per 100 kcal
- 1g
- Energy density
- 1.98kcal/g
- medium
- Net carbs are total carbohydrate minus fiber: 18.5 g − 1.6 g = 16.9 g per 100 g. Low-carb plans usually count these.
- Protein per 100 kcal compares how much protein each food gives for the same calories: French Fries gives 1 g.
- Energy density is calories per gram. At 1.98 kcal/g, French Fries is medium on the CDC's scale (very low below 0.6, low to 1.5, medium to 4, high above 4); lower-density foods give a larger portion for the same calories.
Logging French Fries: what to know
Fries are potato fried in oil, and 13.1 g of fat in every 100 g shows it, against 0.1 g in raw potato. That oil lifts the energy to 198 kcal per 100 g from 77 kcal in the raw potato. USDA's cup is 60 g, and it also lists single fries by cut, so the count of fries is a poor guide to weight.
