The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 79 calories for USDA reference amount at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 63 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 13.1 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 186 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, snapper, mixed species, raw, representing 49.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 79–158 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 2706463: “Ceviche.” 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 2706463, 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.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Seafood mixed dishes

The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706463’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 2706463’s 125 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin D; 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

Vitamin D6.4 µg

≈ 32% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin C23 mg

≈ 26% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium186 mg

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

Saturated fat0.2 g

≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Ceviche,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706871 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 125 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 93.8–156.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 59 kcal and 98 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706871

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 15.1 g less total fat than “Codfish salad, Puerto Rican style, Serenata.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Fish, snapper, mixed species, raw

    The source formulation has 7 input rows; Fish, snapper, mixed species, raw supplies 49.9% 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 “Ceviche” fits. Inspect FDC 2706871 when “Puerto Rican style; Serenata” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706463, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Seafood mixed dishes” 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 120 less calories, 3.9 g more protein, and 15.1 g less total fat than “Codfish salad, Puerto Rican style, Serenata.”

Only this record lists Fish, snapper, mixed species, raw; Lime juice, raw; Lemon juice, raw; Peppers, jalapeno, raw. Only the comparison record lists Fish, cod, Atlantic, canned, solids and liquid; Olive oil; Vinegar, cider; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green. 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: Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average; Onions, raw; Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Fish, snapper, mixed species, raw; Lime juice, raw; Lemon juice, raw; Peppers, jalapeno, raw.

Listed only in the comparison: Fish, cod, Atlantic, canned, solids and liquid; Olive oil; Vinegar, cider; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 72 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (145 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706463 with FDC 2706871 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 72 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706463 versus FDC 2706871 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, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.

For “Ceviche,” 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

    species or cut

    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

    cooking method

    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.

  4. 04

    breading, butter, or sauce

    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 2706463 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 63 kcal per 100 g becomes 79 kcal at 125 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: 2706463

FNDDS food code: 27151030

The scaling for FDC 2706463 can be exact while the match to “Ceviche” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
