Clams Casino calories: 138 per 85 g
This exact USDA record reports 138 calories for 85 g. That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 138 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 162 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10 g protein, 0.9 g fiber, and 386 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is mollusks, clam, mixed species, raw, representing 36.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 clam 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 49–138 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 2706564: “Clams Casino.” 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 2706564, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 clam” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 clamUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 49 kcal | 3.5 g | 0.3 g | 136 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 63.8 g | 103 kcal | 7.5 g | 0.6 g | 289 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 85 g | 138 kcal | 10 g | 0.9 g | 386 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706564’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Clams Casino,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706849 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 85 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 63.8–106.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 103 kcal and 172 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706849
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.9 g less dietary fiber than “Oysters Rockefeller.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Mollusks, clam, mixed species, raw
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Mollusks, clam, mixed species, raw supplies 36.3% 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 “Clams Casino” fits. Inspect FDC 2706849 when the exact wording “Oysters Rockefeller” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Listed only in this record: Mollusks, clam, mixed species, raw; Peppers, bell, green, raw; Celery, raw; Margarine, stick.
Listed only in the comparison: Mollusks, oyster, eastern, wild, raw; Spinach, frozen, chopped or leaf, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Butter, stick, salted.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 clam (30 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 oyster (30 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706564 with FDC 2706849 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706564 versus FDC 2706849 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 “Clams Casino,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2706564 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 162 kcal per 100 g becomes 138 kcal at 85 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: 2706564
FNDDS food code: 27250270
The scaling for FDC 2706564 can be exact while the match to “Clams Casino” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
