The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 30 calories for 1 piece at 16 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 185 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1.2 g protein, 0.5 g fiber, and 151 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rice, white, glutinous, unenriched, cooked, representing 83.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 piece 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 30–38 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 2708348: “Cake made with glutinous rice and dried beans.” 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 2708348, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cubic inch” 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 2708348’s 16 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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

No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium151 mg

≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0 g

≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Cake made with glutinous rice and dried beans,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708345 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 piece to 1 cubic inch

    USDA assigns those measures 16 g and 20.5 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 30 kcal to 38 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708345

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 906 mg more sodium than “Cake made with glutinous rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Rice, white, glutinous, unenriched, cooked

    The source formulation has 5 input rows; Rice, white, glutinous, unenriched, cooked supplies 83.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

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, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.

For “Cake made with glutinous rice and dried beans,” 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

    cooked-to-dry ratio

    Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.

  3. 03

    sauce or mix-ins

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    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.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2708348 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 185 kcal per 100 g becomes 30 kcal at 16 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 piece 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: 2708348

FNDDS food code: 55703000

The scaling for FDC 2708348 can be exact while the match to “Cake made with glutinous rice and dried beans” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 16 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
