The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 350 calories for USDA reference amount at 159 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 220 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 23.2 g protein, 1.6 g fiber, and 909 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 35.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 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 350–466 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 2706503: “Beef stew with potatoes, Puerto Rican style.” 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 2706503, 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 | 119.3 g | 262 kcal | 17.4 g | 1.2 g | 682 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Beef stew with potatoes, Puerto Rican style,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706585 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 159 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 119.3–198.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 262 kcal and 437 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706585
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.5 g more protein than “Vienna sausages stewed with potatoes, Puerto Rican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 10 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 35.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

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 stew with potatoes, Puerto Rican style,” 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 2706503 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 220 kcal per 100 g becomes 350 kcal at 159 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: 2706503
FNDDS food code: 27218210
The scaling for FDC 2706503 can be exact while the match to “Beef stew with potatoes, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 159 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
