The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 230 calories for USDA reference amount at 130 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 177 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 13.8 g protein, 9.1 g fiber, and 358 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is black beans, from dried, fat added, representing 86% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 230–460 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 2707366: “Black beans with meat.” 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 2707366, 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 2707366’s 130 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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

≈ 33% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Magnesium77 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Black beans with meat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707378 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 130 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 97.5–162.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 173 kcal and 288 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707378

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 2 g less carbohydrate than “Pinto beans with meat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Black beans, from dried, fat added

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Black beans, from dried, fat added supplies 86% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707366, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Beans, peas, legumes” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.

Only this record lists Black beans, from dried, fat added. Only the comparison record lists Pinto beans, from dried, fat added. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

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: Ham, for use with vegetables; Beef, for use with vegetables.

Listed only in this record: Black beans, from dried, fat added.

Listed only in the comparison: Pinto beans, from dried, fat added.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 130 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 130 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707366 with FDC 2707378 at equal mass; use their 130 g and 130 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707366 versus FDC 2707378 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, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.

For “Black beans with meat,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    preparation

    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.

  3. 03

    added 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

    sauce or seasoning

    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 2707366 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 177 kcal per 100 g becomes 230 kcal at 130 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: 2707366

FNDDS food code: 41102170

The scaling for FDC 2707366 can be exact while the match to “Black beans with meat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 130 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
