The exact restaurant entry behind the figures
The source entry is “Hooters chili with saltines,” listed as one restaurant portion. Its nutrition panel reports 1510 mg sodium as well as the calorie and macro values below. The date matters: September 2023 PDF identifies the document used, and a currently sold item can change recipe or portion.
The panel is a first-party menu reference, not a laboratory test of your individual plate. Prefer the restaurant's current local ordering information if it differs from this archived document.
Define the complete order
Use the exact item name and portion rather than a loosely similar food. A standard entree, a side, a kids portion and a customized order can all differ even when the main ingredient is the same.
Separate sides, sauces and drinks if they are not already included. If sharing a plate, estimate the fraction eaten and make that assumption visible in your own log.
Calculated share of the documented item
| Share | Energy | Protein |
|---|---|---|
| One quarter | 97.5 kcal | 5.3 g |
| One half | 195 kcal | 10.5 g |
| Whole documented item | 390 kcal | 21 g |
Scale the serving you actually eat
Half of the documented portion works out to 195 kcal, 10.5 g protein, 17.5 g carbohydrate and 9 g fat. This is proportional arithmetic, not a separately measured half portion or an instruction on how much to eat.
If the serving basis is an entire pizza or shared tray, do not save it as one slice or one piece. If components are unevenly distributed, the simple fraction is only an estimate; a share with extra cheese or sauce may not represent the same fraction of every nutrient.
Use the figure in the context of the meal
Add any drink, side or extra topping that the source does not include. Avoid adding the same included dip or side twice. The standard item can fit into different meals, and its calorie total alone does not establish the balance or suitability of the entire day.
Record the meal in BiteCal
Photograph the food to start the entry, then review the detected components and serving. Use the documented one restaurant portion as the reference when it matches your order. Adjust the portion to the share eaten and add separate extras before saving.
A photo cannot confirm the restaurant's current recipe. When your local menu provides a more specific nutrition total, use that information to review the estimate and keep the final diary consistent.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the number for my current order?

Does the panel include a drink or side?

Can I calculate half a serving?
A proportional half of the source portion is 195 kcal. This assumes an even share of the item, rather than a separately analyzed serving.
