The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 159 calories for 1 bar at 35 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 455 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 3 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 170 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, granola bars, soft, almond, confectioners coating, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 bar at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708110: “Cereal or granola bar, oats, nuts, coated with non-chocolate coating.” 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 2708110, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

The comparison set contains 28 exact records in the Cereal bars USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708110’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708110’s 35 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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.

Strength-side signals

Magnesium33 mg

≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Dietary fiber1.5 g

≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Cereal or granola bar, oats, nuts, coated with non-chocolate coating,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708111 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 35 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 26.3–43.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 119 kcal and 199 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708111

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 293 mg more sodium than “Cereal or granola bar, coated with non-chocolate coating.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Snacks, granola bars, soft, almond, confectioners coating

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “oats; nuts; coated with non-chocolate coating” fits. Inspect FDC 2708111 when “coated with non-chocolate coating” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

How to compare FDC 2708110: its source amount is 35 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2708110 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Cereal or granola bar, oats, nuts, coated with non-chocolate coating” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Snacks, granola bars, soft, almond, confectioners coating is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708110, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Cereal bars” 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

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 53 less calories, 1.6 g less protein, and 6.7 g more carbohydrate than “Cereal or granola bar, coated with non-chocolate coating.”

Only this record lists Snacks, granola bars, soft, almond, confectioners coating. Only the comparison record lists Snacks, granola bars, soft, coated, milk chocolate coating, peanut butter. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

6 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.

Listed only in this record: Snacks, granola bars, soft, almond, confectioners coating.

Listed only in the comparison: Snacks, granola bars, soft, coated, milk chocolate coating, peanut butter.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 35 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (35 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 bar (28 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708110 with FDC 2708111 at equal mass; use their 35 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708110 versus FDC 2708111 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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.

For “Cereal or granola bar, oats, nuts, coated with non-chocolate coating,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    piece or 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

    recipe or brand

    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

    fillings or frosting

    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 fats and sugars

    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 2708110 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 455 kcal per 100 g becomes 159 kcal at 35 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 bar 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: 2708110

FNDDS food code: 53714230

The scaling for FDC 2708110 can be exact while the match to “Cereal or granola bar, oats, nuts, coated with non-chocolate coating” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 35 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
