The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 41 calories for USDA reference amount at 68 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 61 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 2.9 g fiber, and 95 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is collards, raw, representing 96.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 41–82 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 2709582: “Collards, fresh, cooked with oil.” 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 2709582, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 51 g | 31 kcal | 1.6 g | 2.1 g | 71 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 68 g | 41 kcal | 2.1 g | 2.9 g | 95 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709582’s 68 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 “Collards, fresh, cooked with oil,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709584 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 68 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 51–85 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 31 kcal and 52 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709584
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.5 g more dietary fiber than “Collards, frozen, cooked with oil.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Collards, raw
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Collards, raw supplies 96.8% 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 “fresh; cooked with oil” fits. Inspect FDC 2709584 when “frozen; cooked with oil” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 1.5 g more dietary fiber than “Collards, frozen, cooked with oil.”
Only this record lists Collards, raw. Only the comparison record lists Collards, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ

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 “Collards, fresh, cooked with oil,” 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 2709582 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 61 kcal per 100 g becomes 41 kcal at 68 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: 2709582
FNDDS food code: 72107227
The scaling for FDC 2709582 can be exact while the match to “Collards, fresh, cooked with oil” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 68 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
