The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 113 calories for USDA reference amount at 22 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 514 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.2 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 78 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cookies, shortbread, commercially prepared, plain, 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 ball 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 57–113 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 2707962: “Cookie, rum ball, no bake.” 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 2707962, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 ball” 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 ballUSDA-listed household measure | 11 g | 57 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.1 g | 39 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 16.5 g | 85 kcal | 0.9 g | 0.2 g | 58 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 22 g | 113 kcal | 1.2 g | 0.3 g | 78 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Cookies and brownies
The comparison set contains 83 exact records in the Cookies and brownies USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2707962’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 2707962’s 22 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 fat1.8 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium78 mg
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cookie, rum ball, no bake,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707900 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 22 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 16.5–27.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 85 kcal and 141 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707900
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Cookie, almond.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cookies, shortbread, commercially prepared, plain
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 “rum ball; no bake” fits. Inspect FDC 2707900 when “almond” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707962 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Cookie, rum ball, no bake” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Cookies, shortbread, commercially prepared, plain is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations match
The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.
Shared listed inputs: Cookies, shortbread, commercially prepared, plain.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 22 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 ball (11 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large (45 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707962 with FDC 2707900 at equal mass; use their 22 g and 60 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707962 versus FDC 2707900 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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.
For “Cookie, rum ball, no bake,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or 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
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
fillings or frosting
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fats and sugars
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 2707962 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 514 kcal per 100 g becomes 113 kcal at 22 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: 2707962
FNDDS food code: 53237500
The scaling for FDC 2707962 can be exact while the match to “Cookie, rum ball, no bake” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 22 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
