Calories by Macronutrient
This section of the nutrition guide provides a summary of the calories by macronutrient: fat, carbs, and protein.
The report breaks out Churro flavored chips separately because all other flavors (original, cobanero, chile, and lime) have the same nutritional value.
Churro has more calories due to a higher amount of total carbs (sugars), but less sodium compared to the other flavors.
