The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 275 calories for 1 cup at 170 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 162 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 12.7 g protein, 7.5 g fiber, and 447 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pinto beans with meat, representing 45% 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 2708992: “Beans and rice, with meat.” 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 2708992, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708992’s 170 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Beans and rice, with meat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708990 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 170 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 127.5–212.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 207 kcal and 344 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708990

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g more dietary fiber than “Beans and white rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Pinto beans with meat

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Pinto beans with meat supplies 45% 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 “with meat” fits. Inspect FDC 2708990 when the exact wording “Beans and white rice” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2708992 to 3 source inputs totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Beans and rice, with meat” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Pinto beans with meat, Rice, white, cooked, no added fat, Black beans with meat. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708992, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Bean, pea, legume dishes” 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

The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.

Only this record lists Pinto beans with meat; Black beans with meat. Only the comparison record lists White beans, from dried, fat added. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

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: Rice, white, cooked, no added fat.

Listed only in this record: Pinto beans with meat; Black beans with meat.

Listed only in the comparison: White beans, from dried, fat added.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708992 with FDC 2708990 at equal mass; use their 170 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708992 versus FDC 2708990 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 “Beans and rice, with meat,” 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 2708992 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 162 kcal per 100 g becomes 275 kcal at 170 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: 2708992

FNDDS food code: 58160132

The scaling for FDC 2708992 can be exact while the match to “Beans and rice, with meat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 170 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
