Compare all 3 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 3 exact records in this guide report 133–180 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 78–106 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

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Yogurt, whole milk, begin by separating “Yogurt, whole milk, flavors other than fruit” from “Yogurt, whole milk, plain.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

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 “Yogurt, regular.” 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 two description segments” placed these 3 records together under the exact grouping key “yogurt whole milk.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Yogurt, whole milk, this page can compare 3 named records from FDC 2705434 through FDC 2705418. 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 170 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Yogurt, whole milk serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

28 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “plain”; the higher is “fruit.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.5 g protein gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “flavors other than fruit” (3.3 g) and “plain” (3.8 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

These 3 records each use a 170 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every yogurt, whole milk; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Yogurt, whole milk, plain; “higher” ends with Yogurt, whole milk, fruit, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every yogurt, whole milk meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Yogurt, whole milk, 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 170-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 133 calories for “plain” to 180 for “fruit.” At a fixed 100 grams, “plain” is 78 calories and “fruit” is 106—a fixed-weight separation of 28 calories. For Yogurt, whole milk, 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 “whole milk, flavors other than fruit”, “whole milk, fruit”, and “whole milk, plain”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes vitamin d as ingredient and yogurt, plain, whole milk; differentiating rows include beverages, water, tap, drinking, jams and preserves, and sugars, granulated. On this Yogurt, whole milk 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 “Yogurt, whole milk” cannot resolve the differences between Yogurt, whole milk, flavors other than fruit and Yogurt, whole milk, plain. 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 170 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 “whole milk, flavors other than fruit”, “whole milk, fruit”, and “whole milk, plain”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include vitamin d as ingredient and yogurt, plain, whole milk; rows that vary across the set include beverages, water, tap, drinking, jams and preserves, and sugars, granulated. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Yogurt, whole milk, flavors other than fruit” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Yogurt, whole milk 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 yogurt, whole milk is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“whole milk, flavors other than fruit”, “whole milk, fruit”, and “whole milk, plain”—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 Yogurt, whole milk 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.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 3 exact records behind Yogurt, whole milk source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Yogurt, whole milk, fruit is higher in carbohydrate per 100 g

Yogurt, whole milk, fruit reports 14.4 g versus 5.6 g for Yogurt, whole milk, plain: a 8.8 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

These listed servings have equal weights

3 listed servings each weigh 170 g

The 3 records with a listed serving weight on this page each use 170 g. Their serving totals therefore compare equal weights, even if the household labels differ. Match the preparation and adjust the weight to the amount you eat.

Choose the record before reading the number

Yogurt, whole milk, fruit and Yogurt, whole milk, plain are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes the exact source description the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
