USDA record comparison

Pork calories and nutrition: 33 USDA records compared

The 33 exact records in this guide report 80–512 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 116–569 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This page includes every selected Feast nutrition record whose normalized USDA description begins with “Pork” under the documented one-segment family rule. The records fall within Pork, Meat mixed dishes, and Stir-fry and soy-based sauce mixtures. Exact descriptions remain visible so this grouping does not erase preparation, ingredient, or source-serving differences.

How this guide was assembled: Feast deterministically grouped exact USDA FNDDS records by their source descriptions. Every nutrient number is computed from the linked source fields; this page does not use generated or invented nutrition estimates.

Every number on this page comes from the exact linked record. Values are descriptive observations from the selected records; they are not personalized estimates, recommended portions, or measurements of a meal in front of you.

Observed source examples

These cards order the selected records by calories in each record's own FNDDS source serving. They do not define the calorie range of every pork and should not be used as a personalized estimate.

Important: “Lower,” “middle,” and “higher” refer only to order within the selected source set above. Different source-serving weights and, where labeled, contextual records mean these cards are examples—not endpoints of a meal estimate.

Serving values preserve each record's listed amount. Per-100-gram calories provide a shared weight basis. Dashes indicate that a value is not available, not that the nutrient is absent.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts span 45–311 grams, a 6.9× difference in mass before recipe or preparation is considered. Within the selected set, the source servings report 80–512 calories in the records' own listed source servings; the fixed-weight view reports 116–569 calories per 100 grams. A serving total and a per-100-gram value answer different questions, so neither should be substituted for the amount actually eaten.

To scale a record, divide the eaten grams by the record's source grams and multiply the listed serving values by that ratio. This assumes the eaten meal has the same composition as the matched record.

Preparation analysis

The dish name leaves ingredients unresolved

The record names distinguish potatoes, chop, rice, steak, and pig's feet. USDA formulation rows also identify 50 distinct source-input codes across the set, including salt, table, vegetable oil, nfs, pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted, and potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt. These details can help select a closer record, but they do not isolate the cause of a nutrient difference or reconstruct a recipe.

A precise-looking result is only as specific as the record match and the portion information supporting it.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The visible dish name is a starting point. These details usually explain more of the variation in the selected source records.

  1. 01

    Source-serving weight

    The exact records list 45–311 grams, so serving totals can move even before composition is compared.

  2. 02

    Named source variant

    The set explicitly distinguishes potatoes, chop, rice, steak, and pig's feet; those words identify different records rather than optional SEO phrasing.

  3. 03

    Nutrient profile

    Across each record's own source serving, the displayed data span protein 7.9–40.5 g, fiber 0.0–3.4 g, sodium 164–1,161 mg. Different serving weights remain visible beside those values.

  4. 04

    Formulation evidence

    The source rows include 50 distinct input codes across this set. Input presence and weight describe standardized source formulations, not final plated proportions.

Record matching

How to find the closest description

Begin with the full source description rather than the shortest dish name. Check whether the named form—such as potatoes, chop, rice, steak, and pig's feet—matches the meal, then compare the listed source weight with the portion actually eaten. If the brand, recipe, toppings, cooking fat, or portion is known, keep that information with the estimate instead of assuming the generic record already includes it.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete pork 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.
