The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 240 calories for USDA reference amount at 189 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 127 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10 g protein, 2.6 g fiber, and 580 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt, representing 38.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 240–320 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 2706597: “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; 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
For FDC 2706597, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 141.8 g | 180 kcal | 7.5 g | 2 g | 435 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 189 g | 240 kcal | 10 g | 2.6 g | 580 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 252 g | 320 kcal | 13.3 g | 3.5 g | 774 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 197 exact records in the Meat mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706597’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706597’s 189 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.
Vitamin A145.5 µg
≈ 16% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C12 mg
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium580 mg
≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.6 g
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706735 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 141.8–236.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 180 kcal and 300 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.9 g more carbohydrate than “Beef with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, mushroom sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt supplies 38.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “potatoes; and vegetables including carrots; broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy” fits. Inspect FDC 2706735 when “broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes; mushroom sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 12 more calories, 2.5 g less protein, and 5.9 g more carbohydrate than “Beef with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes….”
Only this record lists Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt; Salt, table. 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.

These 2 guides place “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; cream…” beside explicitly linked source records; use them to compare preparations without turning FDC 2706597 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, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; cream…,” 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 2706597 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 127 kcal per 100 g becomes 240 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.

FoodData Central ID: 2706597
FNDDS food code: 27311610
The scaling for FDC 2706597 can be exact while the match to “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; cream sauce, white sauce, or mushroom sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 189 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
