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 “Meat mixed dishes.” 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 3 records together under the exact grouping key “stewed.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Stewed seasoned ground beef, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2706586 through FDC 2706479. 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

A shared 166 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Stewed seasoned ground beef serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

6 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “ground beef with potatoes”; the higher is “ground beef and pork with potatoes.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

145 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “ground beef and pork with potatoes” (193 mg) and “ground beef and pork” (338 mg).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

These 3 records each use a 166 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every stewed seasoned ground beef; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Stewed, seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style; “higher” ends with Stewed, seasoned, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican 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

Every selected record uses a 166-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 227 calories for “ground beef with potatoes” to 237 for “ground beef and pork with potatoes.” At a fixed 100 grams, “ground beef with potatoes” is 137 calories and “ground beef and pork with potatoes” is 143—a fixed-weight separation of 6 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 “seasoned, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican style”, “seasoned, ground beef and pork, Mexican style”, and “seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beverages, water, tap, drinking, flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, and garlic, raw; differentiating rows include pork, fresh, composite of trimmed retail cuts (leg, loin, shoulder), separable lean only, raw, potatoes, flesh and skin, raw, beef, ground, and beef, ground, 80% lean meat / 20% fat, raw. 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.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Stewed seasoned ground beef” cannot resolve the differences between Stewed, seasoned, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican style and Stewed, seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    A shared source weight

    Every selected record uses 166 grams. Inside this set, serving-calorie differences therefore reflect the published composition rather than a change in source weight.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “seasoned, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican style”, “seasoned, ground beef and pork, Mexican style”, and “seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beverages, water, tap, drinking and flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; rows that vary across the set include pork, fresh, composite of trimmed retail cuts (leg, loin, shoulder), separable lean only, raw, potatoes, flesh and skin, raw, and beef, ground. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Stewed, …, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican style” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Stewed seasoned ground beef 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 stewed seasoned ground beef is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“seasoned, ground beef and pork with potatoes, Mexican style”, “seasoned, ground beef and pork, Mexican style”, and “seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style”—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 Stewed seasoned ground beef 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.
