The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 67 calories for USDA reference amount at 58 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 116 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.7 g protein, 1.9 g fiber, and 73 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soybeans, mature cooked, boiled, without salt, representing 48.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 67–133 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 2709871: “Bean sprouts, cooked.” 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 2709871, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 43.5 g | 50 kcal | 4.3 g | 1.4 g | 55 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 58 g | 67 kcal | 5.7 g | 1.9 g | 73 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 115 g | 133 kcal | 11.3 g | 3.8 g | 145 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Other vegetables and combinations
The comparison set contains 122 exact records in the Other vegetables and combinations USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2709871’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 2709871’s 58 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.
Strength-side signals
Iron2 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Bean sprouts, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709768 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 58 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 43.5–72.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 50 kcal and 84 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709768
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.8 g more total fat than “Bean sprouts, raw.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soybeans, mature cooked, boiled, without salt
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Soybeans, mature cooked, boiled, without salt supplies 48.4% 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 “cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2709768 when “raw” 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 sprouts, cooked,” 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
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.
- 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
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 2709871 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 116 kcal per 100 g becomes 67 kcal at 58 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: 2709871
FNDDS food code: 75207021
The scaling for FDC 2709871 can be exact while the match to “Bean sprouts, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 58 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
