The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 189 calories for USDA reference amount at 189 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 100 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.2 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 637 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed, representing 41.9% 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 189–1,341 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 2706475: “Beef and potatoes with cream sauce, white sauce or mushroom 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 2706475, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 package, prepared” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Beef and potatoes with cream sauce, white sauce or mushroom sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706381 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 package, prepared
USDA assigns those measures 252 g and 1,341 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 252 kcal to 1,341 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706381
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g more dietary fiber than “Beef with cream or white sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed supplies 41.9% 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 “white sauce or mushroom sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2706381 when the exact wording “Beef with cream or white sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 85 less calories, 14.5 g less protein, and 5.9 g more carbohydrate than “Beef with cream or white sauce.”
Only this record lists Beef, round, top round roast, boneless, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted; Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt; Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed; Milk, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled; White sauce or gravy; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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.

Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 189 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (252 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 192 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (256 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706475 with FDC 2706381 at equal mass; use their 189 g and 192 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706475 versus FDC 2706381 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Beef and potatoes with cream sauce, white sauce or mushroom sauce,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount served
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
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
added cooking 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.
- 04
sauces and toppings
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 2706475 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 100 kcal per 100 g becomes 189 kcal at 189 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: 2706475
FNDDS food code: 27211190
The scaling for FDC 2706475 can be exact while the match to “Beef and potatoes with cream sauce, white sauce or mushroom sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 189 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
