Cornbread, made from home recipe calories: 187 per 1 piece (65 g)
This exact USDA record reports 187 calories for 1 piece (65 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 187 calories for 1 piece at 65 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 287 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4.3 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 315 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, nfs, representing 38.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 piece at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 32–1,854 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 2707811: “Cornbread, made from home recipe.” 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 2707811, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 square cornbread (8" pan)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 surface inchUSDA-listed household measure | 11 g | 32 kcal | 0.7 g | 0.2 g | 53 mg |
| 1 pieceUSDA-listed household measure | 65 g | 187 kcal | 4.3 g | 1 g | 315 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707811’s 65 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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 “Cornbread, made from home recipe,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707814 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 square cornbread (8" pan)
USDA assigns those measures 11 g and 646 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 32 kcal to 1,854 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707814
At an equal 100 g, this record has 20 kcal less calories than “Cornbread muffin, stick, round, made from home recipe.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, NFS
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Milk, NFS supplies 38.1% 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 “made from home recipe” fits. Inspect FDC 2707814 when “stick; round; made from home recipe” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2707811, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Biscuits, muffins, quick breads” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 20 less calories than “Cornbread muffin, stick, round, made from home recipe.”
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 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: Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate; Sugars, granulated; and 4 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 65 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (65 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 113 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (113 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707811 with FDC 2707814 at equal mass; use their 65 g and 113 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707811 versus FDC 2707814 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 item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Cornbread, made from home recipe,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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.
- 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
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.
- 04
spreads or toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707811 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 287 kcal per 100 g becomes 187 kcal at 65 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.” The separately listed 1 piece has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707811
FNDDS food code: 52202060
The scaling for FDC 2707811 can be exact while the match to “Cornbread, made from home recipe” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 65 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
