What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Ice cream and frozen dairy desserts.” 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 4 records together under the exact grouping key “frozen yogurt cone.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Frozen yogurt cone, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2705459 through FDC 2705461. 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

125–255 g before composition

The largest source amount is 2.0× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

8 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “vanilla”; the higher is “chocolate, waffle cone.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

2.2 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “vanilla” (0.1 g) and “chocolate, waffle cone” (2.3 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 frozen yogurt cone.

Important: “Lower” begins with Frozen yogurt cone, vanilla; “higher” ends with Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate, waffle cone, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every frozen yogurt cone meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Frozen yogurt cone, 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 125 to 255 grams—a 130-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 174 calories for “vanilla” to 375 for “chocolate, waffle cone.” At a fixed 100 grams, “vanilla” is 139 calories and “chocolate, waffle cone” is 147—a fixed-weight separation of 8 calories. For Frozen yogurt cone, 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 “chocolate”, “chocolate, waffle cone”, “vanilla”, and “vanilla, waffle cone”. The source formulations contain 4 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include frozen yogurts, chocolate, frozen yogurts, flavors other than chocolate, ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type, and ice cream cones, sugar, rolled-type. On this Frozen yogurt cone 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 “Frozen yogurt cone” cannot resolve the differences between Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate and Frozen yogurt cone, vanilla, waffle cone. 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 125–255 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 “chocolate”, “chocolate, waffle cone”, “vanilla”, and “vanilla, waffle cone”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    4 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Frozen yogurt cone 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 frozen yogurt cone is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“chocolate”, “chocolate, waffle cone”, “vanilla”, and “vanilla, waffle cone”—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 Frozen yogurt cone 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
