The 4·4·9 shorthand adds to 227 kcal; USDA publishes 216 kcal — +11 kcal, 5.1% apart. That gap is expected, not an error: USDA derives energy with food-specific factors and, for many items, discounts the fibre that the shorthand still counts at four. The published figure is the better one, so the axis above is scaled to it and the shares are what the shorthand is genuinely good at.

How this is worked out
- USDA measures every nutrient per 100 g of edible portion. That row is published here unchanged — nothing is rounded up, smoothed or "adjusted".
- The energy figure is USDA's own, derived with food-specific factors. This site never computes the calorie count it publishes.
- The Atwater shorthand 4 · 4 · 9 is applied to the protein, carbohydrate and fat grams only to split that energy into shares — and where the shorthand disagrees with the published figure, the gap is printed rather than hidden.
- A serving is a straight proportional conversion of the per-100 g row, using USDA's own household measures for the grams.
- The walking figure uses MET 4.0 at 70 kg, the same equation the sister site publishes.
per serving = per 100 g × serving grams ÷ 100 energy shares = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (P, C, F in grams) walk minutes = kcal ÷ (4.0 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200)
Calories in a typical serving
Per-100 g figures are useful for comparison but nobody eats 100 g of anything on purpose. These are the USDA's own household measures.
| Serving | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 individual (3.5 fl oz) | 58.0 g | 125 | 2.2 g | 16.4 g | 6.4 g |
| 0.5 cup (4 fl oz) | 66.0 g | 143 | 2.5 g | 18.6 g | 7.3 g |

How ice creams, chocolate compares
Among the 89 sweets items on this site, ice creams, chocolate ranks 77 of 89 by calorie density, against a category average of 372 kcal per 100 g — so it is about 42% less calorie-dense than typical for its group.
It carries 1.8 g of protein per 100 calories, so it is not a meaningful protein source.
To burn off one individual (3.5 fl oz) (125 kcal), a 70 kg adult would walk for roughly 26 minutes — see the walking calculation on our sister site, or pick a different activity. Treat that as a sense of scale rather than a rule: eating and moving are not a simple ledger.

How long does it take to burn off a individual (3.5 fl oz)?
About 26 minutes of ordinary walking for a 70 kg adult (MET 4.0). That is a rough guide for scale, not a prescription — appetite and activity interact in ways a simple subtraction does not capture.
Is this figure exact for the ice creams, chocolate I bought?
No. These are USDA reference values, averaged across samples. Real foods vary with variety, ripeness, growing conditions, cut, brand and how they were cooked — 10–20% either way is normal. Use them for planning, not precision.
