The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 82 calories for USDA reference amount at 75 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 109 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 2.6 g protein, 2.6 g fiber, and 200 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beans, kidney, red, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt, representing 33.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 cup 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 82–164 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 2710009: “Bean salad, yellow and/or green string beans.” 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 2710009, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2710009’s 75 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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

≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin C7 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bean salad, yellow and/or green string beans,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709813 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 75 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 56.3–93.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 61 kcal and 102 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2709813

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.5 g more dietary fiber than “Broccoli slaw salad.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beans, kidney, red, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt

    The source formulation has 6 input rows; Beans, kidney, red, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt supplies 33.7% 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 “yellow and/or green string beans” fits. Inspect FDC 2709813 when the exact wording “Broccoli slaw salad” 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.

For “Bean salad, yellow and/or green string beans,” 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

    raw versus cooked weight

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 04

    added fat or sauce

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

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2710009 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 109 kcal per 100 g becomes 82 kcal at 75 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: 2710009

FNDDS food code: 75302080

The scaling for FDC 2710009 can be exact while the match to “Bean salad, yellow and/or green string beans” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 75 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
