The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 116 calories for USDA reference amount at 86 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 135 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, 2.3 g fiber, and 46 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is taro, raw, representing 39.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 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 116–234 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 2706719: “Codfish with starchy vegetables, Puerto Rican style.” 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 2706719, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706719’s 86 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Codfish with starchy vegetables, Puerto Rican style,” 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 86 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 64.5–107.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 87 kcal and 145 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706871

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 361 mg less sodium 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: Taro, raw

    The source formulation has 9 input rows; Taro, raw supplies 39.4% 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 “Puerto Rican style” fits. Inspect FDC 2706871 when “Puerto Rican style; Serenata” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 48 less calories, 3.1 g less protein, and 15.7 g more carbohydrate than “Codfish salad, Puerto Rican style, Serenata.”

Only this record lists Olives, stuffed; Taro, raw; Plantains, yellow, raw; Sweet potato, raw, unprepared (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program). Only the comparison record lists Salt, table; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green. 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.

Shared listed inputs: Fish, cod, Atlantic, canned, solids and liquid; Onions, raw; Olive oil; Vinegar, cider; and 1 more.

Listed only in this record: Olives, stuffed; Taro, raw; Plantains, yellow, raw; Sweet potato, raw, unprepared (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program).

Listed only in the comparison: Salt, table; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 86 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (173 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 2706719 with FDC 2706871 at equal mass; use their 86 g and 72 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706719 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 “Codfish with starchy vegetables, Puerto Rican style,” 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 2706719 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 135 kcal per 100 g becomes 116 kcal at 86 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: 2706719

FNDDS food code: 27351010

The scaling for FDC 2706719 can be exact while the match to “Codfish with starchy vegetables, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 86 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
