The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 212 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 249 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 359 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, fresh, shoulder, arm picnic, separable lean and fat, cooked, braised, representing 49.6% 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 reference amount and 1 slice 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 149–336 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 2706400: “Barbecue pork, no sauce.” 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 2706400, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 60 g | 149 kcal | 14.9 g | 0 g | 253 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 85 g | 212 kcal | 21.1 g | 0 g | 359 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 336 kcal | 33.5 g | 0 g | 570 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Pork
The comparison set contains 21 exact records in the Pork USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706400’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706400’s 85 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Barbecue pork, no sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705864 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 slice to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 60 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 149 kcal to 336 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705864
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.4 g less total fat than “Pork, carnitas.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pork, fresh, shoulder, arm picnic, separable lean and fat, cooked, braised
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Pork, fresh, shoulder, arm picnic, separable lean and fat, cooked, braised supplies 49.6% 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 “no sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2705864 when “carnitas” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Barbecue pork, no sauce,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 02
cut and fat trim
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
cooking method
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.
- 04
breading, marinade, or sauce
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 2706400 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 249 kcal per 100 g becomes 212 kcal at 85 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: 2706400
FNDDS food code: 27120040
The scaling for FDC 2706400 can be exact while the match to “Barbecue pork, no sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
