What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 2 named USDA records in view: 2 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 2 records together under the exact grouping key “stuffed cabbage.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Stuffed cabbage with meat, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2710143 through FDC 2710142. 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

175–220 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.3× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

123 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with meat and rice; Syrian dish”; the higher is “with meat.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

576 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “with meat and rice; Syrian dish” (147 mg) and “with meat” (723 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 stuffed cabbage with meat.

Important: “Lower” begins with Stuffed cabbage, with meat and rice, Syrian dish, Puerto Rican style; “higher” ends with Stuffed cabbage, with meat, Puerto Rican style, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every stuffed cabbage with meat meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Stuffed cabbage with meat, 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 175 to 220 grams—a 45-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 185 calories for “with meat and rice; Syrian dish” to 362 for “with meat.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with meat and rice; Syrian dish” is 84 calories and “with meat” is 207—a fixed-weight separation of 123 calories. For Stuffed cabbage with meat, 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 “with meat and rice, Syrian dish, Puerto Rican style” and “with meat, Puerto Rican style”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beef, ground, raw, beverages, water, tap, drinking, and cabbage, green, raw; differentiating rows include garlic, raw, lime juice, raw, margarine, stick, and olive oil. On this Stuffed cabbage with meat 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 “Stuffed cabbage with meat” cannot resolve the differences between Stuffed cabbage, with meat and rice, Syrian dish, Puerto Rican style and Stuffed cabbage, with meat, Puerto Rican style. 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 175–220 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 “with meat and rice, Syrian dish, Puerto Rican style” and “with meat, Puerto Rican style”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beef, ground, raw and beverages, water, tap, drinking; rows that vary across the set include garlic, raw, lime juice, raw, and margarine, stick. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Stuffed cabbage, …, Syrian dish, Puerto Rican style” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Stuffed cabbage with meat unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

  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.
