Basically I'm a student, in my college there is no nutritional information. How many calories would be in these oven cooked chips?by the way it's pepper ontop:).
Thanks.

I believe they measure each portion to be 1 and a half cup full.

    Oven cooked, with no oil? So basically it'd be a baked potato I'd start it at about 200 calories. If those were fries chips I'd estimate from 300 calories for that size.

    There are a number of oven chips entries in the database. Calories range from about 130-200 for 100g of chips.

    If you are saying that there is no nutrition info in your college, go ask!!! They have a certain duty of care towards all students and will give you as much info as they can. Even if they give you the raw food weights etc, you'd be able to work it out. It only takes a bit of effort and time. And by the way, after looking at your pic, that is frozen chips, deep fried. They aren't oven chips.

    Can't hurt to ask!

    my uni does a pizza that I managed to get them to admit was just Chicago town frozen pizza. I guess a lot, enter a description into the database and pick the closest thing to it (I will often chose the option with the most calories to avoid an underestimation)
