Tag: Handful of fries

The calorie count for a serving of baked French fries can vary significantly depending on preparation, but a standard portion size, not an exact 'handful,' contains approximately 120 to 200 calories. A "handful" is an imprecise measurement, making the calorie content variable and difficult to determine without knowing the exact weight, type of potato, and amount of oil used.

According to nutritional data, a typical fast-food french fry contains between 9 and 12 calories. So, how many calories are in a small handful of fries? While it depends on the size and preparation, the total can add up quickly, often surprising those who are not calorie conscious.
