The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 14 calories for USDA reference amount at 20 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 71 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 12 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cream substitute, liquid, light, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 4–170 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 2705602: “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free.” 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 2705602, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 individual container” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 individual containerUSDA-listed household measure | 5 g | 4 kcal | 0 g | 0 g | 3 mg |
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 21 kcal | 0.2 g | 0 g | 18 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 240 g | 170 kcal | 1.9 g | 0 g | 144 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Cream and cream substitutes
The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Cream and cream substitutes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2705602’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 2705602’s 20 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat0.2 g
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium12 mg
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705603 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 individual container to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 5 g and 240 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 4 kcal to 170 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705603
At an equal 100 g, this record has 22.6 g less carbohydrate than “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free, flavored.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cream substitute, liquid, light
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 “liquid; fat free” fits. Inspect FDC 2705603 when “liquid; fat free; flavored” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 83 less calories and 22.6 g less carbohydrate than “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free, flavored.”
Only the comparison record lists Sugars, granulated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Cream substitute, liquid, light.
Listed only in the comparison: Sugars, granulated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 20 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 20 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705602 with FDC 2705603 at equal mass; use their 20 g and 20 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705602 versus FDC 2705603 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, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free,” 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
fat level
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
brand or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2705602 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 71 kcal per 100 g becomes 14 kcal at 20 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: 2705602
FNDDS food code: 12210260
The scaling for FDC 2705602 can be exact while the match to “Coffee creamer, liquid, fat free” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 20 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
