The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 58 calories for USDA reference amount at 13 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 449 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 195 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, cured, breakfast strips, cooked, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 slice, cooked 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 29–377 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 2705856: “Beef, bacon, 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 2705856, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice, cooked (approx .8 oz, raw)” through “1 cup, pieces” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 slice, cooked (approx .8 oz, raw)USDA-listed household measure | 6.5 g | 29 kcal | 2 g | 0 g | 98 mg |
| 1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)USDA-listed household measure | 9 g | 40 kcal | 2.8 g | 0 g | 135 mg |
| 1 cup, piecesUSDA-listed household measure | 84 g | 377 kcal | 26.3 g | 0 g | 1,260 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705856’s 13 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat1.9 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium195 mg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Beef, bacon, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705857 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 slice, cooked (approx .8 oz, raw) to 1 cup, pieces
USDA assigns those measures 6.5 g and 84 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 29 kcal to 377 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705857
At an equal 100 g, this record has 470 mg more sodium than “Beef, bacon, reduced sodium, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Beef, cured, breakfast strips, cooked
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “bacon; cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2705857 when “bacon; reduced sodium; cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2705856 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Beef, bacon, cooked” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Beef, cured, breakfast strips, cooked is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2705856, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Bacon” 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
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 92 less calories, 5.7 g less protein, and 7.4 g less total fat than “Beef, bacon, reduced sodium, cooked.”
Only this record lists Beef, cured, breakfast strips, cooked. Only the comparison record lists Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, broiled, pan-fried or roasted, reduced sodium. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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.
Listed only in this record: Beef, cured, breakfast strips, cooked.
Listed only in the comparison: Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, broiled, pan-fried or roasted, reduced sodium.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 13 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice, cooked (7 g).

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 “Beef, bacon, 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
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 2705856 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 449 kcal per 100 g becomes 58 kcal at 13 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: 2705856
FNDDS food code: 21601000
The scaling for FDC 2705856 can be exact while the match to “Beef, bacon, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 13 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
