    If I read it right, you said there were 353 calories in 411g. If that's the case and you ate 51g, it's about 44 calories.

    411g = 353 calories

    411/411 g = 353/411 calories

    1 g = .8588 calories

    .8588 calories x 51 = 43.79

    ~ 44 calories

    Raw vs cooked. OP ate 50g cooked. 411g raw = 131g cooked. Hence OP ate 50/131 of the potato.

    If it was 51g cooked, per the USDA database, 51g of sweet potato, cooked, baked in skin, flesh, with salt is 47 calories.

    44 using the raw weight.

    47 using the cooked weight.

    OP, you can always just check the USDA database and enter whatever you ate. It gives the numbers per 100g, but you can just put in .51 into that box for 51g and it will spit the number out for you. :)http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/3208?man=&lfacet=&count=&max=&qlookup=&offset=&sort=&format=Abridged&reportfmt=other&rptfrm=&ndbno=&nutrient1=&nutrient2=&nutrient3=&subset=&totCount=&measureby=&_action_show=Apply+Changes&Qv=.51&Q6054=1&Q6055=1&Q6056=1&Q6057=1

    This is simply incorrect. At issue is the difference in cooking methods, as illustrated earlier. 50 grams of the OP's finished batch is 135kCal, rounded up.

    I'm using the USDA numbers. If you have a complaint, direct it to them, not to me.

    If you look at the Full Data you will see that the cooked data does not include the skin. It was cooked in the skin, but only the flesh is reported. The skin is disposed as refuse. That is problem number 1.

    Problem number 2 is that cooked data is derived from very specific cooking methods and time. We are unlikely to match those methods in our kitchens.

    The numbers you are suggesting are incorrect in this instance because the item is not a match.

    The issue is not with the USDA data but the data you've given is for a baked potato. The OP made chips. The amount of water lost in baking chips is far greater than the amount lost in baking a potato therefore the end product will be much lighter (and more condensed nutrition wise) for the chips.

    My apologies. I didn't know they were chips. I read the first post only.

    I think the database listed chips, too. I think I remember seeing that in the list. Not looking it up, though, lol. OP can always search things in the database. :)
