Arepa Dominicana calories: 307 per 1 piece (115 g)
This exact USDA record reports 307 calories for 1 piece (115 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 307 calories for 1 piece at 115 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 267 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.5 g protein, 2.8 g fiber, and 459 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow, representing 27.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 source-input rows in all. 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 piece at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707828: “Arepa Dominicana.” 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 2707828, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 | 86.3 g | 230 kcal | 4.9 g | 2.1 g | 344 mg |
| 1 piece (4" x 2" x 1-3/4")USDA-listed household measure | 115 g | 307 kcal | 6.5 g | 2.8 g | 459 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 143.8 g | 384 kcal | 8.1 g | 3.5 g | 574 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707828’s 115 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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
Iron3 mg
≈ 15% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Arepa Dominicana,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707816 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 115 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 86.3–143.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 230 kcal and 384 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707816
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.7 g more total fat than “Corn pone, baked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow
The source formulation has 9 input rows; Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow supplies 27.7% 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 “Arepa Dominicana” fits. Inspect FDC 2707816 when “baked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 53 more calories, 2.2 g more protein, and 9.2 g less carbohydrate than “Corn pone, baked.”
Only this record lists Nuts, coconut milk, raw (liquid expressed from grated meat and water); Nuts, coconut meat, raw; Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole. Only the comparison record lists Shortening, vegetable, household, composite. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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: Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate; Salt, table; Beverages, water, tap, municipal.
Listed only in this record: Nuts, coconut milk, raw (liquid expressed from grated meat and water); Nuts, coconut meat, raw; Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Shortening, vegetable, household, composite.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (115 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 61 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (61 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707828 with FDC 2707816 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 61 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707828 versus FDC 2707816 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 item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Arepa Dominicana,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item 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
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
moisture and density
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
spreads or toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707828 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 267 kcal per 100 g becomes 307 kcal at 115 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 piece 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: 2707828
FNDDS food code: 52220110
The scaling for FDC 2707828 can be exact while the match to “Arepa Dominicana” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
