The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 305 calories for USDA reference amount at 202 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 151 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 17.7 g protein, 2.8 g fiber, and 606 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is noodles, egg, enriched, cooked, representing 57.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 245–305 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706606: “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no 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
For FDC 2706606, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 151.5 g | 229 kcal | 13.3 g | 2.1 g | 455 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 162 g | 245 kcal | 14.2 g | 2.3 g | 486 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 202 g | 305 kcal | 17.7 g | 2.8 g | 606 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 197 exact records in the Meat mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706606’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706606’s 202 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.
Iron3 mg
≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium44 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium606 mg
≈ 26% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.3 g
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706613 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 151.5–252.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 229 kcal and 381 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.2 g more protein than “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; mushroom sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked supplies 57.3% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “noodles; and vegetables excluding carrots; broccoli; and dark-green leafy” fits. Inspect FDC 2706613 when “noodles; and vegetables excluding carrots; broccoli; and dark-green leafy” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 22 more calories, 2.2 g more protein, and 3.7 g more carbohydrate than “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; mushroom….”
Only the comparison record lists Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed; Milk, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
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: Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled; Vegetable oil, NFS; Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked; Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed; Milk, NFS.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 202 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (162 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 311 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (249 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706606 with FDC 2706613 at equal mass; use their 202 g and 311 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706606 versus FDC 2706613 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
FDC 2706606 appears in 2 pair pages that passed semantic, material-difference, source-evidence, and diversity gates. Each preserves a 100-gram denominator and both primary records.
From record to familiar meal
These 2 guides place “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no sauce” beside explicitly linked source records; use them to compare preparations without turning FDC 2706606 into a universal recipe.
Uncertainty, made actionable
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, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no sauce,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
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
FDC 2706606 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 151 kcal per 100 g becomes 305 kcal at 202 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: 2706606
FNDDS food code: 27313020
The scaling for FDC 2706606 can be exact while the match to “Beef, noodles, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 202 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
