Almond milk, unsweetened calories: 37 per 1 cup (244 g)
This exact USDA record reports 37 calories for 1 cup (244 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 37 calories for 1 cup at 244 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 15 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 146 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is almond milk, unsweetened, plain, shelf stable, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 5–37 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2705409: “Almond milk, unsweetened.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2705409, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 30.5 g | 5 kcal | 0.2 g | 0 g | 18 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 183 g | 27 kcal | 1 g | 0 g | 110 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 244 g | 37 kcal | 1.3 g | 0 g | 146 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Plant-based milk
The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Plant-based milk USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2705409’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705409’s 244 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Almond milk, unsweetened,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705407 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 30.5 g and 244 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 5 kcal to 37 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705407
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4 g less carbohydrate than “Almond milk, sweetened.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Almond milk, unsweetened, plain, shelf stable
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “unsweetened” fits. Inspect FDC 2705407 when “sweetened” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Only the comparison record lists Sugars, granulated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Almond milk, unsweetened, plain, shelf stable.
Listed only in the comparison: Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 244 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 244 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705409 with FDC 2705407 at equal mass; use their 244 g and 244 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705409 versus FDC 2705407 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Almond milk, unsweetened,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
fat level
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
brand or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2705409 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 15 kcal per 100 g becomes 37 kcal at 244 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2705409
FNDDS food code: 11350020
The scaling for FDC 2705409 can be exact while the match to “Almond milk, unsweetened” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 244 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
