Beef wellington calories: 320 per 87 g
This exact USDA record reports 320 calories for 87 g. That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 320 calories for USDA reference amount at 87 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 368 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 16.7 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 158 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, tenderloin, roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, prime, cooked, roasted, representing 68.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 slice 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 320–427 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 2706501: “Beef wellington.” 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 2706501, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 slice” 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 | 65.3 g | 240 kcal | 12.5 g | 0.3 g | 119 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 87 g | 320 kcal | 16.7 g | 0.3 g | 158 mg |
| 1 sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 116 g | 427 kcal | 22.3 g | 0.5 g | 211 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706501’s 87 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Beef wellington,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706371 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 87 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 65.3–108.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 240 kcal and 400 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706371
At an equal 100 g, this record has 21.4 g more total fat than “Beef burgundy.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, tenderloin, roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, prime, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 11 input rows; Beef, tenderloin, roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, prime, cooked, roasted supplies 68.2% 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 the exact wording “Beef wellington” fits. Inspect FDC 2706371 when the exact wording “Beef burgundy” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 220 more calories, 6 g more carbohydrate, and 21.4 g more total fat than “Beef burgundy.”
Only this record lists Beef, tenderloin, roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, prime, cooked, roasted; Margarine, stick; Olive oil; Pate, chicken liver, canned. Only the comparison record lists Beef, chuck, arm pot roast, separable lean only, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw; Vegetable oil, NFS; Tomato products, canned, paste, without salt added (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Spices, pepper, black. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
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: Mushrooms, raw; Onions, raw; Parsley, fresh; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; and 1 more.
Listed only in this record: Beef, tenderloin, roast, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, prime, cooked, roasted; Margarine, stick; Olive oil; Pate, chicken liver, canned; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Beef, chuck, arm pot roast, separable lean only, trimmed to 1/8" fat, choice, raw; Vegetable oil, NFS; Tomato products, canned, paste, without salt added (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Spices, pepper, black; and 1 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 87 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice (116 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 183 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706501 with FDC 2706371 at equal mass; use their 87 g and 183 g source amounts only for portion matching.

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 wellington,” 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 2706501 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 368 kcal per 100 g becomes 320 kcal at 87 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: 2706501
FNDDS food code: 27214300
The scaling for FDC 2706501 can be exact while the match to “Beef wellington” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 87 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
