The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 30 calories for USDA reference amount at 32 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 95 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.4 g protein, 0.4 g fiber, and 123 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tomato products, canned, sauce, representing 80% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 tablespoon 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 15–30 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 2710178: “Curry sauce.” 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 2710178, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tablespoon” 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 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 16 g | 15 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.2 g | 61 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 24 g | 23 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.3 g | 92 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 32 g | 30 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.4 g | 123 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 23 exact records in the Dips, gravies, other sauces USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710178’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 2710178’s 32 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
Sodium123 mg
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.8 g
≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Curry sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705809 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 32 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 24–40 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 23 kcal and 38 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705809
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.4 g more dietary fiber than “Alfredo sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tomato products, canned, sauce
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Tomato products, canned, sauce supplies 80% 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 the exact wording “Curry sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2705809 when the exact wording “Alfredo sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2710178, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Dips, gravies, other sauces” 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 55 less calories, 3.3 g more carbohydrate, and 6.8 g less total fat than “Alfredo sauce.”
Only this record lists Tomato products, canned, sauce; Yogurt, plain, whole milk; Nuts, coconut milk, raw (liquid expressed from grated meat and water); Vegetable oil, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Cream, heavy; Cheese, parmesan, grated; Butter, stick, salted. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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.
Listed only in this record: Tomato products, canned, sauce; Yogurt, plain, whole milk; Nuts, coconut milk, raw (liquid expressed from grated meat and water); Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Cream, heavy; Cheese, parmesan, grated; Butter, stick, salted; and 1 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 32 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (16 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 65 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710178 with FDC 2705809 at equal mass; use their 32 g and 65 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710178 versus FDC 2705809 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 used, recipe or brand, concentration, oil, sugar, and salt formulation.
For “Curry sauce,” resolve amount used first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount used
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
concentration
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 04
oil, sugar, and salt formulation
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 2710178 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 95 kcal per 100 g becomes 30 kcal at 32 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: 2710178
FNDDS food code: 81312100
The scaling for FDC 2710178 can be exact while the match to “Curry sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 32 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
