Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 164–176 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 166–178 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

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 “Vegetable 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 pepper.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Stuffed pepper with rice, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2709073 through FDC 2709074. 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 99 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Stuffed pepper with rice serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

12 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

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

Discriminator

4.1 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “with rice; meatless” (3.8 g) and “with rice and meat” (7.8 g).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

These 2 records each use a 99 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every stuffed pepper with rice; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

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

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Stuffed pepper with rice, 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 99-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 164 calories for “with rice; meatless” to 176 for “with rice and meat.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with rice; meatless” is 166 calories and “with rice and meat” is 178—a fixed-weight separation of 12 calories. For Stuffed pepper with rice, 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 rice and meat” and “with rice, meatless”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes celery, raw, cheese, cheddar, and peppers, bell, green, raw; differentiating rows include beef, ground, bread, white, commercially prepared, eggs, grade a, large, egg whole, and sauce, tomato chili sauce, bottled, with salt. On this Stuffed pepper with rice 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 pepper with rice” cannot resolve the differences between Stuffed pepper, with rice and meat and Stuffed pepper, with rice, meatless. 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 99 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 “with rice and meat” and “with rice, meatless”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include celery, raw and cheese, cheddar; rows that vary across the set include beef, ground, bread, white, commercially prepared, and eggs, grade a, large, egg whole. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Stuffed pepper, with rice and meat” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Stuffed pepper with rice 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 stuffed pepper with rice is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“with rice and meat” and “with rice, meatless”—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 Stuffed pepper with rice 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.
