The summary of calories by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label provided by Frito-Lay.

Total Fat

There are 9 grams of total fat, including 1 gram of saturated fat in a single serving of the thick cut potato chips flavored with BBQ seasoning.

The amount of fat equates to approximately 14% of the daily value (based on a 2,000 calorie diet) recommended by the FDA.

Each serving of BBQ chips has 9g of fat (14%DV).

Sodium

I think it’s important to also take note of the amount of sodium. According to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, diets high in sodium are associated with an increased risk of developing high blood pressure.

Why Sodium is Used

The list of ingredients in most processed and packaged foods include salt to help enhance flavor and extend shelf life. So it’s rarely a surprise to see more than than 100mg of sodium on the nutrition facts label of prepared foods.

Sodium Per Serving

These chips contain 150 milligrams of sodium per serving. The last part of that statement may be the most important part. The serving size is a measured amount, not simply how much you choose to pour in a bowl.

If you eat more (or less) than the 28 grams, the amount of sodium will increase (or decrease) accordingly.

One serving of about 17 chips has 150mg sodium.
