The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 196 calories for USDA reference amount at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 326 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 215 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, rib, large end (ribs 6-9), separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted, representing 79.4% 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 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 65–359 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 2705852: “Beef, sandwich steak.” 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 2705852, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz yields” 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 yieldsUSDA-listed household measure | 20 g | 65 kcal | 3.7 g | 0 g | 72 mg |
| 1 sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 98 kcal | 5.5 g | 0 g | 108 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 110 g | 359 kcal | 20.1 g | 0 g | 395 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Beef, excludes ground
The comparison set contains 25 exact records in the Beef, excludes ground USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2705852’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705852’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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
Iron1 mg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat7 g
≈ 35% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium215 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Beef, sandwich steak,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705825 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz yields to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 20 g and 110 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 65 kcal to 359 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705825
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14.2 g more total fat than “Beef, steak, chuck.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, rib, large end (ribs 6-9), separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beef, rib, large end (ribs 6-9), separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted supplies 79.4% 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 “sandwich steak” fits. Inspect FDC 2705825 when “steak; chuck” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Beef, rib, large end (ribs 6-9), separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted; Fat, beef tallow; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Listed only in the comparison: Beef, chuck, under blade center steak, boneless, Denver Cut, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, cooked, grilled.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (110 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 160 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular (160 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705852 with FDC 2705825 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 160 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705852 versus FDC 2705825 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.

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, sandwich steak,” 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 2705852 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 326 kcal per 100 g becomes 196 kcal at 60 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: 2705852
FNDDS food code: 21420100
The scaling for FDC 2705852 can be exact while the match to “Beef, sandwich steak” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
