The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 152 calories for USDA reference amount at 121 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 126 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 8.4 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 379 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 56.5% 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 152–204 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 2706587: “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or 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

Three weights, one fixed composition

For FDC 2706587, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706587’s 121 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.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A129.5 µg

≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin C11 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

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 2706728 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 121 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 90.8–151.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 114 kcal and 191 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706728

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 10.5 g more carbohydrate than “Beef and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, no sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt

    The source formulation has 6 input rows; Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt supplies 56.5% 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 “potatoes; and vegetables including carrots; broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy” fits. Inspect FDC 2706728 when “broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes; no sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Record-specific answers

Common questions about this exact entry

These answers resolve landing-page questions for “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce” using FDC 2706587, its 121 g reference, and its named source neighbors.

How many calories are in one cup?

USDA’s reference amount is 121 grams and contains about 152 calories. Its listed one-cup measure weighs 162 grams and scales to about 204. The cup is not intrinsically “more caloric”; it simply contains 41 more grams of the same standardized composition.

What does this exact USDA record include?

The standardized formulation rows list 50 grams potato, 15 grams beef, 10 grams carrots, 10 grams broccoli, 2.85 grams vegetable oil, and a salt input. They reveal the record’s computational ancestry; they do not reproduce a 121-gram plated serving, because input weights and finished weight are not the same object.

How does the potato version differ from the no-potato record?

At the shared 100-gram denominator, this record lists 126 calories, 13.5 grams of carbohydrate, and 6.93 grams of protein. The closest no-potato, no-sauce record lists 116 calories, 3 grams of carbohydrate, and 11.4 grams of protein. Potatoes are an obvious descriptive difference, but the records are not a controlled ingredient experiment, so do not assign every nutrient gap to potatoes alone.

Can I use this entry for a version with sauce?

Usually not. A sauce-specific record preserves information that this “no sauce” entry explicitly excludes. Nearby cheese-, tomato-, and mushroom-sauce records also use different formulations and 189-gram source amounts rather than 121 grams, so simply adding sauce calories to this serving would not recreate those records.

FDC 2706587 and the neighboring IDs above are standardized records. Their differences do not measure an individual meal or isolate a single ingredient as the cause.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

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, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no…,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706587 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 126 kcal per 100 g becomes 152 kcal at 121 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.

Exact USDA description: Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706587

FNDDS food code: 27311110

The scaling for FDC 2706587 can be exact while the match to “Beef, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 121 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
