Calories in a Marie, Milk and Water Biscuit

By NYUS Inc. · Published 28 October 2026

A Marie biscuit, a milk biscuit, a water biscuit and a cracker each have a piece or serving weight printed on their SR Legacy record page. This guide gives twenty-two such records from the SR Legacy table of USDA FoodData Central: the record named Marie biscuit, the record that names arrowroot and tea biscuits, milk crackers, water biscuits, snack, wheat, whole-wheat, cheese and multigrain crackers, saltines, melba toast, matzo, rye crispbread and wafers, rice crackers and rice cakes, meal crackers and zwieback, with the weights printed on their record pages. IFCT 2017, the Indian Food Composition Tables from ICMR-NIN, has no biscuit or cracker row, so this page uses SR Legacy only. Rusk toast is in our rusk and granola guide, chocolate and butter cookies in our chocolate and butter biscuit guide and biscuits with chai in our chai and coffee guide.

The short answer

By the SR Legacy records, 5 cookie (28 g) of the record named Marie biscuit is 113.7 kcal, 1 milk cracker (11 g) 49.1 kcal, 4 water biscuits (14 g) 53.8 kcal and 1 arrowroot biscuit (4.9 g) 21.9 kcal. Our reading: the piece is small and the weight differs a lot from record to record, so count by grams, not by pieces: 5 Marie cookies are 28 g but 5 saltine crackers are about 15 g.

SR Legacy: per 100 g

Every figure below is exactly as the record page shows it. The record names are the dataset's own.

SR Legacy: per printed portion

Each figure is our arithmetic on exact weights: kcal per 100 g times the grams, divided by 100, with the exact product in the sums line and the result shown to 0.1 with half rounding up. Every weight below is printed on the SR Legacy record page; none is ours. The records also print ounce and crushed-cup weights and a few portions with a company's name in the label; those are not shown.

The sums: 171867 406 × 28 / 100 = 113.68, so 113.7 kcal; 174980 446 × 11 / 100 = 49.06, so 49.1 kcal; 171856 384 × 14 / 100 = 53.76, so 53.8 kcal; 168014 446 × 4.9 / 100 = 21.854, so 21.9 kcal; 168014 446 × 2.5 / 100 = 11.15, so 11.2 kcal; 174982 510 × 3.2 / 100 = 16.32, so 16.3 kcal; 174982 510 × 16 / 100 = 81.6, so 81.6 kcal; 174982 510 × 16 / 100 = 81.6, so 81.6 kcal; 174982 510 × 4 / 100 = 20.4, so 20.4 kcal; 172746 418 × 3 / 100 = 12.54, so 12.5 kcal; 172746 418 × 45 / 100 = 188.1, so 188.1 kcal; 172746 418 × 14.9 / 100 = 62.282, so 62.3 kcal; 172746 418 × 15 / 100 = 62.7, so 62.7 kcal; 172746 418 × 10 / 100 = 41.8, so 41.8 kcal; 172746 418 × 1 / 100 = 4.18, so 4.2 kcal; 172746 418 × 6 / 100 = 25.08, so 25.1 kcal; 174985 455 × 14.5 / 100 = 65.975, so 66.0 kcal; 174985 455 × 34 / 100 = 154.7, so 154.7 kcal; 172749 427 × 28 / 100 = 119.56, so 119.6 kcal; 172749 427 × 4.6 / 100 = 19.642, so 19.6 kcal; 174975 489 × 62 / 100 = 303.18, so 303.2 kcal; 174975 489 × 1 / 100 = 4.89, so 4.9 kcal; 174975 489 × 2 / 100 = 9.78, so 9.8 kcal; 174975 489 × 28 / 100 = 136.92, so 136.9 kcal; 171838 482 × 14 / 100 = 67.48, so 67.5 kcal; 172750 383 × 115 / 100 = 440.45, so 440.5 kcal; 173161 416 × 30 / 100 = 124.8, so 124.8 kcal; 167966 387 × 18 / 100 = 69.66, so 69.7 kcal; 167966 387 × 9 / 100 = 34.83, so 34.8 kcal; 170250 387 × 9 / 100 = 34.83, so 34.8 kcal; 170250 387 × 18 / 100 = 69.66, so 69.7 kcal; 174977 390 × 33 / 100 = 128.7, so 128.7 kcal; 174977 390 × 5 / 100 = 19.5, so 19.5 kcal; 174977 390 × 30 / 100 = 117, so 117.0 kcal; 174977 390 × 3 / 100 = 11.7, so 11.7 kcal; 174979 374 × 5 / 100 = 18.7, so 18.7 kcal; 174978 389 × 5 / 100 = 19.45, so 19.5 kcal; 172740 395 × 28 / 100 = 110.6, so 110.6 kcal; 172741 391 × 28 / 100 = 109.48, so 109.5 kcal; 172739 366 × 10 / 100 = 36.6, so 36.6 kcal; 172739 366 × 10 / 100 = 36.6, so 36.6 kcal; 172739 366 × 5.8 / 100 = 21.228, so 21.2 kcal; 172739 366 × 2 / 100 = 7.32, so 7.3 kcal; 172744 334 × 11 / 100 = 36.74, so 36.7 kcal; 172744 334 × 25 / 100 = 83.5, so 83.5 kcal; 171372 426 × 10 / 100 = 42.6, so 42.6 kcal; 171372 426 × 7 / 100 = 29.82, so 29.8 kcal.

Why these are reference rows, not your packet

• Names are the records'. No record name or portion label shown here carries a company name. "Marie biscuit" and "arrowroot, tea biscuits" are USDA's record names; we do not say that a packet of any maker matches them.
• No row for digestive, glucose or cream biscuits. A search of the SR Legacy table on 28 Oct 2026 for digestive and for glucose biscuit returned no record, and the two cream cracker records carry a company's name, so the page gives no figure for them.
• Every portion here is printed. No piece or serving weight on this page is ours: each is printed on its record page, and the only weight that is ours is the labelled 100 g example in the logging section.
• The records' own notes. The record pages mark the kcal energy of 21 of the 22 records "Calculated" and print no source label for the energy of 172739; they are USDA values, not our measurements.
• The animal crackers record is a cookie record. SR Legacy 168014 is named "Cookies, animal crackers (includes arrowroot, tea biscuits)", so its per-100 g row covers animal crackers, arrowroot and tea biscuits together.

How to log it so the numbers hold

• Weigh or read the pack. 100 g of Marie biscuit (our example weight, not a dataset value) on SR Legacy 171867 is 406 × 100 / 100 = 406, so 406.0 kcal.
• Pick the record the food is closest to, and say which. Milk, water, wheat and snack crackers are different rows; the same weight of each gives different calories.
• Tea and butter are separate. The milk and sugar in chai are in our chai and coffee guide; these rows are the biscuit alone.
• Do not mix datasets inside one day. If you log a biscuit from SR Legacy, keep to that record for the same plate.

Where NYUS fits (our app)

We make NYUS, so read this as ours. NYUS is an AI fitness and nutrition coach in early access on Android, with no ads and no data selling. You log foods yourself by searching 8,900+ Indian and global foods or by barcode, and a weekly check-in adjusts your calories, macros and step goal once enough is logged. Barcode coverage of Indian packaged foods is not complete, so search by name when a scan finds nothing.

What this page leaves out

• A calorie target, and any claim about what biscuits do to your weight or health: we have not looked up one for any person, so we give none. If you have a medical condition, ask your doctor or dietitian.
• Digestive, glucose, cream, jeera, salted, butter-cream and any packet or maker's biscuit: no record used here.
• Records that carry a company's name are left out, by id. In the SR Legacy searches for biscuits, crackers, cookies, wafers, graham, rice cakes, pretzels and breadsticks on 28 Oct 2026, these were: 167529, 167530, 167531, 167591, 167594, 167595, 167596, 167669, 167670, 167671, 167992, 168002, 168003, 168004, 168005, 168006, 168012, 168073, 168074, 168075, 168107, 169021, 169628, 169842, 169843, 169849, 170678, 170789, 172995, 173007, 173245, 173247, 173251, 173255, 173257, 173258, 173304, 174621, 174633, 175073, 175074, 175083, 167592, 167593, 167924, 167938, 168007, 168102, 168768, 168769, 173246, 173248, 173249, 173250, 173252, 173253, 175070, 175071, 175072, 175075, 175076, 175077, 175084, 173260.
• Variants of the records used (low salt or low sodium, reduced fat, fat-free, unsalted, whole grain, seasoned, egg and onion, whole-wheat, toast thins, fish-shaped) are left out, by id: 167933, 167934, 167941, 167942, 171846, 171854, 172742, 172745, 172812, 172822, 172823, 174084, 174098, 175056, 175057, 175058, 175059, 175060, 175068.

Baby food records: 170972, 170975, 170980, 170981, 171368, 171369, 171370.

• Cookies other than the two used: a search of the SR Legacy table for "cookies" returned 119 records on 28 Oct 2026 and all 119 were read. Two are used here (171867 and 168014); 28 of the rest carry a company's name and are in the list above; and the nearest to tea-time biscuits, graham crackers 174957, 174083 and 174958, vanilla wafers 174974 and 174973 and sugar wafers 172736, 174088 and 174970, are named here and left out. The other 81 (chocolate chip, oatmeal, peanut butter, sugar, shortbread and other US cookies, brownies, pie crusts and similar) are left out and not listed one by one.
