Enchilada Dip Nutritional Information

Serving Size

One serving is measured as 31 grams, which is approximately two tablespoons. Keep this in mind because the nutrition facts are based on a measured serving (not the amount consumed at one meal).

Calories

Let’s start our review of the nutritional value with an analysis of how each macronutrient (fat, carbs, and protein) contributes to calories.

There are 40 calories in two tablespoons of Tostitos Cheesy Enchilada Dip. Dietary fats and carbs together contribute nearly all of the calories.

Here is a summary of the number of calories by macronutrient, per serving:

Half of the calories are derived from fat. Carbohydrates contribute 15 calories (38% of the total) and the remaining 12% is from protein.

The breakout of calories by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts provided by TOSITOS, a Frito-Lay brand.

Sodium

Each serving of the cheesy enchilada dip contains 160 milligrams of sodium.

How much dip do you eat on a single chip? That varies person by person.

If you eat six tablespoons of this dip, you consume approximately 480 milligrams of sodium. That amount (480mg) is about 20% of the daily limit of sodium recommended by the FDA (based on a 2,000 calorie diet).

This is an example of why it’s a good idea to understand not only the nutrition facts per serving, but also the serving size. The serving size is a guideline to help standardize and compare products.

But, the serving size may be significantly smaller than the actual amount consumed. To calculate actual grams of fat, sodium, or other nutrient consumed, simply multiply the amount per standard serving (2 tablespoons) times the amount actually consumed.
