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 “Burritos and tacos.” 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 “taco or tostada salad.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Taco or tostada salad meatless, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2708510 through FDC 2708513. 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 225 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Taco or tostada salad meatless serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

4 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “meatless”; the higher is “meatless with sour cream.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.4 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “meatless with sour cream” (3.3 g) and “meatless” (3.7 g).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

These 2 records each use a 225 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every taco or tostada salad meatless; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Taco or tostada salad, meatless; “higher” ends with Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every taco or tostada salad meatless meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Taco or tostada salad meatless, 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 225-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 367 calories for “meatless” to 376 for “meatless with sour cream.” At a fixed 100 grams, “meatless” is 163 calories and “meatless with sour cream” is 167—a fixed-weight separation of 4 calories. For Taco or tostada salad meatless, 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 “meatless” and “meatless with sour cream”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes avocados, raw, all commercial varieties, beans, black turtle, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt, and cheese, cheddar; differentiating rows include cream, sour, full fat. On this Taco or tostada salad meatless 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 “Taco or tostada salad meatless” cannot resolve the differences between Taco or tostada salad, meatless and Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream. 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 225 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 “meatless” and “meatless with sour cream”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include avocados, raw, all commercial varieties and beans, black turtle, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; rows that vary across the set include cream, sour, full fat. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Taco or tostada salad, meatless” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Taco or tostada salad meatless 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 taco or tostada salad meatless is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“meatless” and “meatless with sour cream”—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 Taco or tostada salad meatless 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.
