Fine-cut chips from fast food outlets are thin, crisp fries cooked in commercial blended vegetable oils, typically at high temperatures. They are high in fat (often 10–15g/100g) and carbohydrate, and frequently very high in sodium from added salt. A large portion (~150g) can provide 450–550 kcal and 1.5–2g sodium. They offer minimal micronutrient value.
If eating fast food chips, opt for a small or medium portion and avoid adding extra salt. Sharing a portion or swapping for a side salad occasionally significantly reduces calorie and sodium intake.

Glycemic Index & Load
High GI food — causes a rapid rise in blood sugar. Best eaten in small portions combined with lower-GI foods, protein, or fat.
Glycemic Load (GL = GI × carbs ÷ 100) accounts for portion size. A moderate GL — portion size matters here.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
