The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 89 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 105 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 g fiber, and 96 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt, 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 8–179 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 2709919: “Corn, frozen, 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 2709919, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 baby corn” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 baby cornUSDA-listed household measure | 8 g | 8 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.2 g | 9 mg |
| 1 regular earUSDA-listed household measure | 108 g | 113 kcal | 2.7 g | 2.5 g | 122 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 179 kcal | 4.2 g | 3.9 g | 192 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Corn
The comparison set contains 13 exact records in the Corn USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2709919’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 2709919’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Corn, frozen, cooked with oil,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709917 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 baby corn to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 8 g and 170 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 8 kcal to 179 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709917
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g less protein than “Corn, fresh, cooked with oil.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt 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 “frozen; cooked with oil” fits. Inspect FDC 2709917 when “fresh; cooked with oil” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
Only this record lists Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Corn, sweet, yellow, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt.
Listed only in the comparison: Corn, sweet, yellow, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709919 with FDC 2709917 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709919 versus FDC 2709917 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Corn, frozen, 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 2709919 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 105 kcal per 100 g becomes 89 kcal at 85 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: 2709919
FNDDS food code: 75216137
The scaling for FDC 2709919 can be exact while the match to “Corn, frozen, cooked with oil” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
