The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 70 calories for USDA reference amount at 13 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 541 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4.8 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 134 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, cured, bacon, cooked, broiled, pan-fried or roasted, reduced sodium, 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 35–454 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 2705857: “Beef, bacon, reduced sodium, 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 2705857, 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 | 35 kcal | 2.4 g | 0 g | 67 mg |
| 1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)USDA-listed household measure | 9 g | 49 kcal | 3.3 g | 0 g | 93 mg |
| 1 cup, piecesUSDA-listed household measure | 84 g | 454 kcal | 31.1 g | 0 g | 865 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705857’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 fat1.8 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium134 mg
≈ 6% 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, reduced sodium, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705891 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 35 kcal to 454 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705891
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Pork bacon, smoked or cured, reduced sodium, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, broiled, pan-fried or roasted, reduced sodium
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; reduced sodium; cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2705891 when “smoked or cured; reduced sodium; cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
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: Pork, cured, bacon, cooked, broiled, pan-fried or roasted, reduced sodium.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 13 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice, cooked (7 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 16 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium slice (8 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705857 with FDC 2705891 at equal mass; use their 13 g and 16 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705857 versus FDC 2705891 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.
Deep comparisons
Controlled comparisons that include this exact record
FDC 2705857 appears in 1 pair page that passed semantic, material-difference, source-evidence, and diversity gates. Each preserves a 100-gram denominator and both primary records.

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, reduced sodium, 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 2705857 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 541 kcal per 100 g becomes 70 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: 2705857
FNDDS food code: 21601010
The scaling for FDC 2705857 can be exact while the match to “Beef, bacon, reduced sodium, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 13 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
