Where the calories come from
Calories come from three macronutrients: protein and carbohydrate at 4 kcal per gram, fat at 9 kcal per gram. For chicken noodle soup (canned, prepared) the split is:
- Protein: 1.2 g × 4 = 5 kcal — 20% of calories
- Carbohydrates: 3 g × 4 = 12 kcal — 51% of calories
- Fat: 0.8 g × 9 = 7 kcal — 29% of calories
- Most of the energy in chicken noodle soup (canned, prepared) comes from carbohydrate (51% of calories).
- It is 94% water, which is why it is so light for its size.
- For 200 kcal you can eat about 835 g.
What actually changes the number
Canned chicken noodle soup is 24 kcal per 100 g — a bowl is under 100 kcal, which makes it a filling low-calorie meal and a very salty one. Homemade versions with more chicken are 40–60 per 100 g.
How accurate are these numbers?
The values on this page are reference averages from the USDA FoodData Central database (SR Legacy release), measured on samples of chicken noodle soup as sold and prepared in the United States. Your portion will differ: produce varies by variety and ripeness, meat by cut and trim, and anything cooked by the fat and water it gained or lost.
For most foods the per-100 g figure is reliable to within about 10%. The larger uncertainty is almost always the weight of what is on your plate and the cooking fat you cannot see — the two things worth checking before you worry about the database.
