Read this post for an in-depth overview of the nutrition facts, calories, and ingredients in the cheddar flavored chips by SUNCHIPS®, a Frito-Lay brand.
Calories and Nutrition Facts
Nutritional information, including calories, is based on a single serving (unless otherwise noted), measured as 28 grams, or about 14 chips.
Calories
There are 140 calories per serving. The size I purchased while waiting in the airport contained approximately 2 3/8 ounces of chips, which is about 2 1/2 servings.
The entire package contained a total of 330 calories. (For the record, I did not eat the entire package.)
More than half of the calories are derived from carbohydrates. Specifically, there are 19 grams of carbohydrates per serving, which account for about 54% of the total calories.
Fat contributes approximately 39% of the total calories and protein makes up the remaining 7%.
- Fat: 55 calories
- Carbs: 75 calories

The breakout of calories by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label printed on the package.
Fat
The amount of fat per serving in these chips is 6 grams, including 0.5 grams of Saturated Fat. There is no Trans Fat in this snack.
Sodium
Let’s take a quick look at the amount of sodium in this snack. One serving contains 170 milligrams of sodium. That’s about 8% of the recommended daily value based on a 2,000 calorie daily diet.
That may not seem that significant unless you consider whether or not you would consume the full package of chips.
If you purchase a package size (2 3/8 ounce) often found near the checkout aisle in grocery stores, it contains 2 1/2 servings. Based on that size, a full bag of chips contains 425 milligrams of sodium, which is nearly 19% of the recommended daily value.
