Cobb salad, no dressing calories: 98 per 1 cup (105 g)
This exact USDA record reports 98 calories for 1 cup (105 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 98 calories for 1 cup at 105 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 93 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.9 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 167 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten, representing 31.1% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup 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 2709832: “Cobb salad, no dressing.” 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 2709832, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 78.8 g | 73 kcal | 8.9 g | 0.9 g | 125 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 105 g | 98 kcal | 11.9 g | 1.3 g | 167 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 131.3 g | 122 kcal | 14.8 g | 1.6 g | 209 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709832’s 105 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 “Cobb salad, no dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709831 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 105 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 78.8–131.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 73 kcal and 122 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709831
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.3 g more protein than “Spinach salad, no dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten supplies 31.1% 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 “no dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2709831 when “no dressing” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Pork, cured, bacon, pre-sliced, cooked, pan-fried; Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled.
Listed only in this record: Lettuce, romaine, green, raw; Watercress, raw; Avocados, raw, all commercial varieties; Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Spinach, baby.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 105 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (105 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 74 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (74 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709832 with FDC 2709831 at equal mass; use their 105 g and 74 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709832 versus FDC 2709831 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Cobb salad, no dressing,” 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
raw versus cooked weight
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.
- 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
added fat 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 2709832 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 93 kcal per 100 g becomes 98 kcal at 105 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 cup 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: 2709832
FNDDS food code: 75148010
The scaling for FDC 2709832 can be exact while the match to “Cobb salad, no dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 105 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
