The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 479 calories for 1 item, any size at 225 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 213 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 45 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 668 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef as ingredient in recipes, representing 66.4% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 item, any size at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 256–479 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 2708556: “Burrito bowl, beef or pork.” 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 2708556, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 item, any size” 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 2708556’s 225 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 “Burrito bowl, beef or pork,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708557 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 item, any size

    USDA assigns those measures 120 g and 225 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 256 kcal to 479 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708557

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 13.9 g less carbohydrate than “Burrito bowl, beef or pork, with rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beef as ingredient in recipes

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beef as ingredient in recipes supplies 66.4% 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 “beef or pork” fits. Inspect FDC 2708557 when “beef or pork; with rice” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 32 more calories, 8.1 g more protein, and 13.9 g less carbohydrate than “Burrito bowl, beef or pork, with rice.”

Only the comparison record lists Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked. 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: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Beef as ingredient in recipes; Cheese and Queso as ingredient; Salt, table.

Listed only in the comparison: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 225 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 item, any size (225 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 270 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 item, any size (270 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708556 with FDC 2708557 at equal mass; use their 225 g and 270 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708556 versus FDC 2708557 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.

For “Burrito bowl, beef or pork,” 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 2708556 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 213 kcal per 100 g becomes 479 kcal at 225 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.” The separately listed 1 item, any size has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

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

FoodData Central ID: 2708556

FNDDS food code: 58102710

The scaling for FDC 2708556 can be exact while the match to “Burrito bowl, beef or pork” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 225 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
