Compare all 3 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 3 exact records in this guide report 59–83 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 65–89 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 Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked, begin by separating “Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine” from “Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat.” 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. All sit within “Other vegetables and combinations.” 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 3 records together under the exact grouping key “classic mixed vegetables frozen.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2710019 through FDC 2710013. 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

90–93 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.0× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

24 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “cooked; no added fat”; the higher is “cooked with oil.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

17 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “cooked with oil” (146 mg) and “cooked with butter or margarine” (163 mg).

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 classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked.

Important: “Lower” begins with Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat; “higher” ends with Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked with oil, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked, 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 90 to 93 grams—a 3-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 59 calories for “cooked; no added fat” to 83 for “cooked with oil.” At a fixed 100 grams, “cooked; no added fat” is 65 calories and “cooked with oil” is 89—a fixed-weight separation of 24 calories. For Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked, 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 “frozen, cooked with butter or margarine”, “frozen, cooked with oil”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes salt, table and vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; differentiating rows include table fat, nfs and vegetable oil, nfs. On this Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked 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 “Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked” cannot resolve the differences between Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine and Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat. 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 90–93 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 “frozen, cooked with butter or margarine”, “frozen, cooked with oil”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include salt, table and vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; rows that vary across the set include table fat, nfs and vegetable oil, nfs. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Classic mixed vegetables, …, cooked with butter or margarine” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked 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 classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“frozen, cooked with butter or margarine”, “frozen, cooked with oil”, and “frozen, cooked, no added fat”—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 Classic mixed vegetables frozen cooked 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.
