The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 75 calories for USDA reference amount at 18 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 416 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.8 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 42 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rice crackers, 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 cup, NFS 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 12–166 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 2708163: “Crackers, rice.” 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 2708163, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cracker” through “1 cup, NFS” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 crackerUSDA-listed household measure | 3 g | 12 kcal | 0.3 g | 0 g | 7 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 18 g | 75 kcal | 1.8 g | 0 g | 42 mg |
| 1 cup, NFSUSDA-listed household measure | 40 g | 166 kcal | 4 g | 0 g | 93 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Crackers, excludes saltines
The comparison set contains 36 exact records in the Crackers, excludes saltines USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2708163’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 2708163’s 18 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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
Magnesium28 mg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium42 mg
≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Crackers, rice,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708164 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cracker to 1 cup, NFS
USDA assigns those measures 3 g and 40 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 12 kcal to 166 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708164
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.8 g less dietary fiber than “Crackers, rice and nuts.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Rice crackers
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 “rice” fits. Inspect FDC 2708164 when “rice and nuts” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2708163 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Crackers, rice” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Rice crackers 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.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708163, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Crackers, excludes saltines” 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 3.9 g less total fat, 0.8 g less dietary fiber, and 127 mg less sodium than “Crackers, rice and nuts.”
Only the comparison record lists Almonds, salted; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Rice crackers.
Listed only in the comparison: Almonds, salted; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, NFS (40 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, NFS (50 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708163 with FDC 2708164 at equal mass; use their 18 g and 18 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708163 versus FDC 2708164 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 “Crackers, rice,” 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 2708163 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 416 kcal per 100 g becomes 75 kcal at 18 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: 2708163
FNDDS food code: 54319000
The scaling for FDC 2708163 can be exact while the match to “Crackers, rice” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 18 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
