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

150–166 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

109 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “Mexican style”; the higher is “Puerto Rican style.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

404 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “Mexican style” (464 mg) and “Puerto Rican style” (868 mg).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

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 stewed seasoned ground beef.

Important: “Lower” begins with Stewed seasoned ground beef, Mexican style; “higher” ends with Stewed seasoned ground beef, Puerto Rican style, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every stewed seasoned ground beef meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Stewed seasoned ground beef, 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 150 to 166 grams—a 16-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 281 calories for “Mexican style” to 417 for “Puerto Rican style.” At a fixed 100 grams, “Mexican style” is 169 calories and “Puerto Rican style” is 278—a fixed-weight separation of 109 calories. For Stewed seasoned ground beef, 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 “Mexican style” and “Puerto Rican style”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beef, ground, raw, garlic, raw, and salt, table; differentiating rows include beverages, water, tap, drinking, flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, oil, corn, and olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green. On this Stewed seasoned ground beef 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.
