The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 124 calories for USDA reference amount at 69 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 180 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 60 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is apples, raw, with skin (includes foods for usda's food distribution program), representing 56.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 124–247 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 2709293: “Apple salad with dressing.” 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 2709293, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 51.8 g | 93 kcal | 0.8 g | 1 g | 45 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 69 g | 124 kcal | 1 g | 1.4 g | 60 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 137 g | 247 kcal | 2 g | 2.7 g | 119 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Other fruits and fruit salads
The comparison set contains 27 exact records in the Other fruits and fruit salads USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2709293’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 2709293’s 69 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat1.3 g
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium60 mg
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Apple salad with dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709310 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 69 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 51.8–86.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 93 kcal and 155 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709310
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.2 g more dietary fiber than “Pineapple salad with dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Apples, raw, with skin (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Apples, raw, with skin (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program) supplies 56.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when the exact wording “Apple salad with dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2709310 when the exact wording “Pineapple salad with dressing” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

3 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: Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular.
Listed only in this record: Celery, raw; Apples, raw, with skin (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Nuts, walnuts, English, halves, raw; Grapes, raw.
Listed only in the comparison: Pineapple, raw; Lettuce, iceberg, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 69 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (137 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 184 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 serving (184 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709293 with FDC 2709310 at equal mass; use their 69 g and 184 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709293 versus FDC 2709310 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 piece or portion size, variety and ripeness, fresh versus cooked form, added sweeteners.
For “Apple salad with dressing,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or 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
variety and ripeness
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fresh versus cooked form
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
added 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 2709293 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 180 kcal per 100 g becomes 124 kcal at 69 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709293
FNDDS food code: 63401010
The scaling for FDC 2709293 can be exact while the match to “Apple salad with dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 69 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
