The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 255 calories for 1 cup at 248 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 103 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4.5 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 74 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, chocolate, fluid, commercial, whole, with added vitamin a and vitamin d, representing 43.5% 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 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 32–255 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710608: “Atole de chocolate.” 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
For FDC 2710608, 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 | 31 g | 32 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.2 g | 9 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 186 g | 192 kcal | 3.3 g | 1.1 g | 56 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 248 g | 255 kcal | 4.5 g | 1.5 g | 74 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 22 exact records in the Smoothies and grain drinks USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2710608’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2710608’s 248 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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.
Calcium146 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin D1.5 µg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.5 g
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium74 mg
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Atole de chocolate,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710605 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 31 g and 248 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 32 kcal to 255 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.8 g more carbohydrate than “Atole de avena.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Milk, chocolate, fluid, commercial, whole, with added vitamin A and vitamin D supplies 43.5% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Uncertainty, made actionable
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.
For “Atole de chocolate,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
Resolve drink size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.
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
FDC 2710608 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 103 kcal per 100 g becomes 255 kcal at 248 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: 2710608
FNDDS food code: 92613510
The scaling for FDC 2710608 can be exact while the match to “Atole de chocolate” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 248 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
