The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 326 calories for USDA reference amount at 143 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 228 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 31.3 g protein, 0.1 g fiber, and 1,047 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, ground, representing 80.7% 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 large patty 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 48–433 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 2706748: “Beef, ground, with egg and onion.” 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 2706748, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, raw (yield after cooking)USDA-listed household measure | 21 g | 48 kcal | 4.6 g | 0 g | 154 mg |
| 1 large pattyUSDA-listed household measure | 113 g | 258 kcal | 24.7 g | 0.1 g | 827 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 190 g | 433 kcal | 41.6 g | 0.2 g | 1,391 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706748’s 143 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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 “Beef, ground, with egg and onion,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706393 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, raw (yield after cooking) to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 21 g and 190 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 48 kcal to 433 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706393
At an equal 100 g, this record has 268 mg more sodium than “Stewed seasoned ground beef, Mexican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, ground
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beef, ground supplies 80.7% 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 “ground; with egg and onion” fits. Inspect FDC 2706393 when “Mexican style” 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Beef, ground, with egg and onion,” 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 2706748 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 228 kcal per 100 g becomes 326 kcal at 143 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: 2706748
FNDDS food code: 27416200
The scaling for FDC 2706748 can be exact while the match to “Beef, ground, with egg and onion” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 143 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
