What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 5 named USDA records in view: 5 direct matches. All sit within “Coffee.” 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 5 records together under the exact grouping key “coffee decaffeinated.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Coffee decaffeinated pre, this page can compare 5 named records from FDC 2710465 through FDC 2710467. 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

360–372 g before composition

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

Composition

22 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”; the higher is “pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.1 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “pre-sweetened with sugar” (0.1 g) and “pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener” (0.2 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 coffee decaffeinated pre.

Important: “Lower” begins with Coffee, decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener; “higher” ends with Coffee, decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every coffee decaffeinated pre meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Coffee decaffeinated pre, 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 360 to 372 grams—a 12-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 18 calories for “pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener” to 100 for “pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar.” At a fixed 100 grams, “pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener” is 5 calories and “pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar” is 27—a fixed-weight separation of 22 calories. For Coffee decaffeinated pre, 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 “decaffeinated, pre-lightened”, “decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, “decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar”, “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, and “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beverages, coffee, instant, decaffeinated, powder and beverages, water, tap, drinking; differentiating rows include cream substitute, powdered, sugars, granulated, and sweeteners, tabletop, sucralose, splenda packets. On this Coffee decaffeinated pre 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 “Coffee decaffeinated pre” cannot resolve the differences between Coffee, decaffeinated, pre-lightened and Coffee, decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar. 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 360–372 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 “decaffeinated, pre-lightened”, “decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, “decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with sugar”, “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, and “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beverages, coffee, instant, decaffeinated, powder and beverages, water, tap, drinking; rows that vary across the set include cream substitute, powdered, sugars, granulated, and sweeteners, tabletop, sucralose, splenda packets. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Coffee, decaffeinated, pre-lightened” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Coffee decaffeinated pre 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 coffee decaffeinated pre is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“decaffeinated, pre-lightened”, “decaffeinated, pre-lightened and pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with low calorie sweetener”, and “decaffeinated, pre-sweetened with sugar”—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 Coffee decaffeinated pre 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.
