Carrot chips calories come to 35 for a 3 oz portion (85 g) and 41 per 100 g. Almost all of that energy is carbohydrate, and the fresh chips carry no fat at all. The number to notice is the jump for dried chips: a half cup (30 g) holds 150 calories.

A 3 oz portion is a 35-calorie snack
The default serving is a 3 oz portion of 85 g, which lands at 35 calories, 1 g of protein, 8 g of carbs and 0 g of fat. That is 2% of a daily calorie budget. Fresh carrot chips are sliced carrots packed in bags under names like Bolthouse Farms and Grimmway Farms, so the label reflects plain carrot, not anything fried.
Because the density is so low, portions scale gently. Two portions (170 g) come to 70 calories, three (255 g) reach 105, and even five portions, a full 425 g, total only 174. Few snacks let you eat that much volume for that little energy.
Sodium climbs too, but slowly: 65 mg in a single portion, 129 mg in two, 194 mg in three and 323 mg in five. One portion is 3% of the daily value for sodium, so the bag itself is not where a salty day comes from. Dips are another story, and they deserve their own line in your log.
Carbs supply 89% of the calories
The calorie split is 89% carbohydrate, 11% protein and 0% fat. Per 100 g that works out to 9.4 g of carbs, 1.2 g of protein and no fat, saturated fat or cholesterol. This is a vegetable, and its profile reads like one.
Of those 9.4 g of carbs, 5.9 g are sugars and 2.4 g are fiber per 100 g. In a 3 oz portion that becomes 5 g of sugars and 2 g of fiber. In plain bags the sugar is the carrot's own sweetness; seasoned or flavored bags are worth a label check.
Protein is the weak spot. At 1 g per portion it covers 2% of the daily value, so carrot chips will not hold you over the way a protein snack would. Treat them as volume and crunch, and get protein from something else on the plate.
Dried carrot chips are a different snack
Not every bag labeled carrot chips holds fresh slices. Dried versions, such as Setton Farms Dried Carrot Chips, are a separate product, and the numbers show it: a half cup of 30 g carries 150 calories, 23 g of carbs, 6 g of fat and 10 g of sugars. That is 8% of a daily calorie budget in a small handful.
Weight for weight the gap is stark. The fresh 3 oz portion weighs 85 g and gives 35 calories; the dried half cup weighs 30 g and gives 150. Drying concentrates everything, and the 6 g of fat shows that something besides carrot went into the bag. Fiber rises only slightly, to 3 g, while sugars double from 5 g to 10 g.
Sodium is close across both, 65 mg for fresh and 70 mg for dried, each 3% of the daily value. So the rows to watch on dried chips are calories and sugar, not salt. If you want the light snack the 35 figure promises, check that the bag says fresh.
Pair them with protein and count the dip
Fresh carrot chips do one job well: they add crunch and bulk to a snack for very few calories. On their own they bring 1 g of protein per portion, so pairing them with a protein source makes the snack more filling. Hummus, a Greek yogurt dip, cottage cheese or a few slices of turkey all fit the role.
The dip usually decides the total. With the carrots at 35 calories a portion, a creamy dip can easily outweigh them several times over. If you track closely, log the dip by weight rather than by eye, and keep the carrots as the bigger share of the bowl.
They also work outside the snack drawer: packed into a lunch box next to a sandwich, or tossed into a salad for texture. BodyPal can log carrot chips from a photo, which helps when the bag and the dip land on the same plate.
How does carrot chips compare?
Here is how carrot chips stack up against carrot sticks, cooked carrots and onion, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the fewest calories per serving pick cooked carrots at 27 for a half cup, while carrot chips at 41 per 100 g match carrot sticks exactly and edge them on protein, 1.2 g against 0.9 g. For grab-and-go crunch choose fresh carrot chips, and skip the dried kind if calories matter.
