The 12 exact records in this guide report 152–282 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 126–149 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 potatoes and vegetables, begin by separating “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce” from “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables, excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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 12 named USDA records in view: 12 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 two description segments” placed these 12 records together under the exact grouping key “beef potatoes.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Beef potatoes and vegetables, this page can compare 12 named records from FDC 2706602 through FDC 2706588. 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

23 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “and dark-green leafy; gravy”; the higher is “and/or dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

6.6 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “and/or dark-green leafy; gravy” (5.2 g) and “and/or dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce” (11.8 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 potatoes and vegetables.

Important: “Lower” begins with Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce; “higher” ends with Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every beef potatoes and vegetables meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Beef potatoes and vegetables, 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 152 calories for “and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce” to 282 for “and/or dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce.” At a fixed 100 grams, “and dark-green leafy; gravy” is 126 calories and “and/or dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce” is 149—a fixed-weight separation of 23 calories. For Beef potatoes and vegetables, 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 “potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; cream sauce, white sauce, or mushroom sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce”, and “potatoes, and vegetables, excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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 potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt; differentiating rows include salt, table, vegetable oil, nfs, beans, snap, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained without salt, and broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. On this Beef potatoes and vegetables 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 potatoes and vegetables” cannot resolve the differences between Beef, potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce and Beef, potatoes, and vegetables, excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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 “potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; soy-based sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; cream sauce, white sauce, or mushroom sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce”, and “potatoes, and vegetables, excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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 potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt; rows that vary across the set include salt, table, vegetable oil, nfs, and beans, snap, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained without salt. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Beef, …, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Beef potatoes and vegetables 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 potatoes and vegetables is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; cheese sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; tomato-based sauce”, “potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; gravy”, and “potatoes, and vegetables, excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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 potatoes and vegetables 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.
