Banana, baked calories: 225 per 1 cup (140 g)
This exact USDA record reports 225 calories for 1 cup (140 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 225 calories for 1 cup at 140 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 161 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.1 g protein, 2.5 g fiber, and 4 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw, representing 90% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709225: “Banana, baked.” 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 2709225, 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 | 105 g | 169 kcal | 0.9 g | 1.9 g | 3 mg |
| 1 bananaUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 225 kcal | 1.1 g | 2.5 g | 4 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 175 g | 282 kcal | 1.4 g | 3.2 g | 5 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709225’s 140 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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
Vitamin C15 mg
≈ 16% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Banana, baked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709224 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 140 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 105–175 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 169 kcal and 282 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709224
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.9 g more total fat than “Banana, raw.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw supplies 90% 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 “baked” fits. Inspect FDC 2709224 when “raw” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “baked”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.
| Exact record | Source serving | Calories / 100 g | Protein / 100 g | Fat / 100 g | Fiber / 100 g | Sodium / 100 g |

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 64 more calories, 9.7 g more carbohydrate, and 2.9 g more total fat than “Banana, raw.”
Only this record lists Sugars, brown; Butter, stick, unsalted. Only the comparison record lists Bananas, overripe, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Bananas, ripe and slightly ripe, raw.
Listed only in this record: Sugars, brown; Butter, stick, unsalted.
Listed only in the comparison: Bananas, overripe, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (140 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 126 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 banana (126 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709225 with FDC 2709224 at equal mass; use their 140 g and 126 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709225 versus FDC 2709224 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.
Deep comparisons
Controlled comparisons that include this exact record
FDC 2709225 appears in 1 pair page that passed semantic, material-difference, source-evidence, and diversity gates. Each preserves a 100-gram denominator and both primary records.

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 “Banana, baked,” 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 2709225 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 161 kcal per 100 g becomes 225 kcal at 140 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: 2709225
FNDDS food code: 63107410
The scaling for FDC 2709225 can be exact while the match to “Banana, baked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 140 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
