Compare all 3 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 3 exact records in this guide report 67–89 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 81–105 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 Corn frozen cooked, begin by separating “Corn, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine” from “Corn, 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 “Corn.” 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 “corn frozen.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Corn frozen cooked, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2709920 through FDC 2709911. 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

83–85 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

18 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “cooked with oil” (113 mg) and “cooked with butter or margarine” (131 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 corn frozen cooked.

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

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Corn 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 83 to 85 grams—a 2-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 67 calories for “cooked; no added fat” to 89 for “cooked with oil.” At a fixed 100 grams, “cooked; no added fat” is 81 calories and “cooked with oil” is 105—a fixed-weight separation of 24 calories. For Corn 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 corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt and salt, table; differentiating rows include table fat, nfs and vegetable oil, nfs. On this Corn 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 “Corn frozen cooked” cannot resolve the differences between Corn, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine and Corn, 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 83–85 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 corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt and salt, table; 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 “Corn, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Corn 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 corn 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 Corn 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.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 3 exact records behind Corn frozen cooked source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Corn, frozen, cooked with oil is higher in total fat per 100 g

Corn, frozen, cooked with oil reports 3.6 g versus 0.7 g for Corn, frozen, cooked, no added fat: a 2.9 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

Check the weight before comparing serving totals

Source amounts span 83–85 g

Corn, frozen, cooked, no added fat uses USDA source amount (83 g), while Corn, frozen, cooked with oil uses USDA source amount (85 g). Use per 100 g for equal-weight composition; use the serving column only when those named source amounts answer your question.

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Corn, frozen, cooked with butter or margarine” from “Corn, frozen, cooked, no added fat”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.
