I see your point. A "trainee" spud cutter may not have the same diligence as an experienced chef.with the portion continuity..Or, go to MacDonalds and buy a portion of chips. Take them home, weigh them, calculate how many carbs in the whole portion, count out the chips and calculate how many to eat to get to your target amount of carbs. Then you'll know how many to eat when you next go to MacDonalds.
By the way, I don't think anyone mentioned the shape of the potato to be chipped. Some are really odd shapes so might make large or small chips. Not sure how to calculate these ones.
I cannot cook
Earn while you learn at McDonnalds...Enrol in a class and learn ... and start with the chip
Buy a small kitchen scale. They are really inexpensive.I cannot cook and I don't have scale, anyone?
You and many others here continue not to understand....
Actually the answer is 42 (according to hitchikers guide to the galaxy)7.....the answer is 7.....hopefully that's what you want to hear so we can move on from this ridiculous conversation.

Before I complete choking on my breakfast coffee I have to say that, with respect @mahola, you're quite wrong - I have been known on occasion to eat a single (potato) chip... My husband will sometimes include an odd one on my plate along with my low carb celeriac chips as a special "treat". Next time I get one I'll try to remember to remove and weigh it before attempting to eat it. Perhaps if his generosity happens frequently enough over the next few years or so I'll eventually have enough single chip weights recorded be able to publish an accurate average weight and carb content for one??Nobody can eat only one chip. Chips are moreish. Especially chips cooked on the hob, stainless steel chip pan in LARD. Mmmmmmmm. Proper chips! ...

This has got to be one of the funniest questions ever asked here it has certainly generated a lot of replies
This is a food thread it's pretty obvious he'd be asking about hot dogs...Your question is the equivalent of asking "How much does a dog weigh?" It's impossible to answer that question with accuracy as there are big/small dogs, tall/short dogs, and fat/skinny dogs.
Wow there are more calories in a peanut than a french fry...And the second hit on google was...
Ah but it could be a teeny weeny peanut and a huge, very long French fry...that would really mess your calculations up.This is a food thread it's pretty obvious he'd be asking about hot dogs...

Are we really allowed to show porn on here?Here you are, 50g of real French Fries
( about 20g carb)
It's from the a book very much like carbs and cals which was mentioned earlier
