The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 44 calories for USDA reference amount at 20 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 218 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.8 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 97 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, municipal, representing 46.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 patty 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 22–44 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 2707815: “Corn flour patty or tart, fried.” 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 2707815, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 patty” 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 pattyUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 22 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.3 g | 48 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 15 g | 33 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.5 g | 72 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 20 g | 44 kcal | 0.8 g | 0.6 g | 97 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 34 exact records in the Biscuits, muffins, quick breads USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707815’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 2707815’s 20 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.
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
Sodium97 mg
≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.1 g
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Corn flour patty or tart, fried,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707817 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 20 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 15–25 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 33 kcal and 55 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707817
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.1 g less total fat than “Corn pone, fried.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, municipal
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, municipal supplies 46.5% 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 “fried” fits. Inspect FDC 2707817 when “fried” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 36 less calories, 5.1 g less total fat, and 1.2 g more dietary fiber than “Corn pone, fried.”
Only this record lists Corn flour, masa, enriched, white; Sugars, granulated; Oil, corn; Corn flour, masa, unenriched, white. Only the comparison record lists Shortening, vegetable, household, composite; Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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: Salt, table; Beverages, water, tap, municipal.
Listed only in this record: Corn flour, masa, enriched, white; Sugars, granulated; Oil, corn; Corn flour, masa, unenriched, white.
Listed only in the comparison: Shortening, vegetable, household, composite; Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 20 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 patty (10 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 61 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (61 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707815 with FDC 2707817 at equal mass; use their 20 g and 61 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707815 versus FDC 2707817 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 amount of absorbed frying fat, item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density.
For “Corn flour patty or tart, fried,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount of absorbed frying fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 02
item 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.
- 03
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.
- 04
moisture and density
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707815 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 218 kcal per 100 g becomes 44 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: 2707815
FNDDS food code: 52207010
The scaling for FDC 2707815 can be exact while the match to “Corn flour patty or tart, fried” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 20 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
