Compare all 3 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 3 exact records in this guide report 140–235 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 115–144 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes, begin by separating “Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy” from “Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 3 named USDA records in view: 3 direct matches. They span 2 source categories, including Meat mixed dishes and Stir-fry and soy-based sauce mixtures. The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 3 records together under the exact grouping key “beef and vegetables including carrots.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2706752 through FDC 2706737. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

121–189 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.6× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

29 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “gravy”; the higher is “soy-based sauce.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

3.6 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “gravy” (8.1 g) and “soy-based sauce” (11.7 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes.

Important: “Lower” begins with Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, no sauce; “higher” ends with Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 121 to 189 grams—a 68-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 140 calories for “no sauce” to 235 for “soy-based sauce.” At a fixed 100 grams, “gravy” is 115 calories and “soy-based sauce” is 144—a fixed-weight separation of 29 calories. For Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy”, “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, no sauce”, and “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled and vegetable oil, nfs; differentiating rows include broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, salt, table, and beverages, water, tap, drinking. On this Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes” cannot resolve the differences between Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy and Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 121–189 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy”, “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, no sauce”, and “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled and vegetable oil, nfs; rows that vary across the set include broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt, and salt, table. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Beef and vegetables including carrots, …, gravy” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy”, “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, no sauce”, and “broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, soy-based sauce”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark green leafy vegetables without potatoes source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
