The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 49 calories for 1 oz, raw at 16 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 309 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1.9 g protein, 0.4 g fiber, and 234 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bacon, meatless, 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 oz, raw 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 15–49 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 2707465: “Bacon strip, meatless.” 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 2707465, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 strip” through “1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

The comparison set contains 18 exact records in the Soy and meat-alternative products USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2707465’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 2707465’s 16 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.

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

Sodium234 mg

≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0.7 g

≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bacon strip, meatless,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707468 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 strip to 1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)

    USDA assigns those measures 5 g and 16 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 15 kcal to 49 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707468

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 16.8 g more total fat than “Chicken, meatless, NFS.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bacon, meatless

    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 “meatless” fits. Inspect FDC 2707468 when “meatless; NFS” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707465 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Bacon strip, meatless” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Bacon, meatless is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707465, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Soy and meat-alternative products” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 85 more calories, 11.9 g less protein, and 16.8 g more total fat than “Chicken, meatless, NFS.”

Only this record lists Bacon, meatless. Only the comparison record lists Chicken, meatless. 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.

Listed only in this record: Bacon, meatless.

Listed only in the comparison: Chicken, meatless.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 16 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 oz, raw (16 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 84 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (168 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707465 with FDC 2707468 at equal mass; use their 16 g and 84 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707465 versus FDC 2707468 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, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.

For “Bacon strip, meatless,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    preparation

    Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.

  3. 03

    added fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  4. 04

    sauce or seasoning

    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 2707465 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 309 kcal per 100 g becomes 49 kcal at 16 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 oz, raw 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: 2707465

FNDDS food code: 41810200

The scaling for FDC 2707465 can be exact while the match to “Bacon strip, meatless” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 16 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
