Cookie Calories

A typical medium-sized chocolate chunk cookie weighing around 57 grams contains approximately 278 calories. For those tracking their daily intake with a calorie counter, understanding the caloric value of such treats is important. Answering the question of 'how many calories should I eat a day' depends on individual factors like age, sex, and activity level, which can be estimated using a calorie calculator. This single cookie can represent a significant portion of a daily snack allowance, especially for individuals aiming for weight loss through a calorie deficit. Its caloric density is much higher compared to whole foods like fruits.

Nutritional Information

Beyond calories, the nutritional profile is heavily weighted towards fats and carbohydrates. The 278 calories are composed of 13.3 grams of total fat, which includes 4.8 grams of saturated fat. It also contains 36.8 grams of total carbohydrates, with a very high sugar content of 21.8 grams. Notably, most of this is added sugar, accounting for 19.5 grams, or 39% of the recommended daily value. The protein content is minimal at 2.9 grams. Unlike low calorie snacks that offer volume, cookies are energy-dense. When compared to the calories in a banana or an apple, a cookie provides more energy in a smaller package, but with fewer vitamins and fiber.
