Did I get the french fry math right?

I want to make sure I'm not off by too much.

Serving size: 85 g (I assume frozen, although the bag doesn't say)


Prebaked: 529 grams
Baked: 397 grams

My serving: 76 grams baked

So since it lost about 25% of its mass in the oven, I actually ate 1.2 servings (or 100.8 frozen grams), right?

    Yep, that all checks out to me.

    Are you basing this off of your bag or something?

    Btw, next time enter this in as a recipe. Add water or something 0-cal as a 2nd ingredient. That way you can simply put the baked weight as the serving size and then you can enter the baked weight each time you eat some. I do this with pastas, otherwise I'll divide by 2.2ish if someone else made it haha. Lifehax.

    Actually, you can do this now if this is your weighted info. See if it lines up with your estimate.

    Btw I got 101.27g (529/397 = longass number, multiplied that by 76.)

    Thanks ladies!

    I was chopping vegetables while my helper poured the fries out and I just didn't have the energy to get a second pan for my weighed serving. I'll try the recipe trick next time.
