The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 245 calories for USDA reference amount at 187 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 131 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 7.7 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 370 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, drinking, representing 51.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 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 245–328 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 2708957: “Dukboki or Tteokbokki, Korean.” 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 2708957, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708957’s 187 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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

Vitamin C9 mg

≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Magnesium26 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Dukboki or Tteokbokki, Korean,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708950 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 187 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 140.3–233.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 184 kcal and 306 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708950

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 11.5 g more carbohydrate than “Bibimbap, Korean.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking

    The source formulation has 10 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 51.5% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 55 more calories, 1.4 g less protein, and 11.5 g more carbohydrate than “Bibimbap, Korean.”

Only this record lists Flour, rice, white, unenriched; Spices, chili powder; Sugars, granulated; Garlic, raw. Only the comparison record lists Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Cucumber, with peel, raw; Mung beans, mature seeds, sprouted, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Spinach, cooked, as ingredient. 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

Listed only in the comparison: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Cucumber, with peel, raw; Mung beans, mature seeds, sprouted, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Spinach, cooked, as ingredient; and 6 more.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 187 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 121 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (162 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708957 with FDC 2708950 at equal mass; use their 187 g and 121 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708957 versus FDC 2708950 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 served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.

For “Dukboki or Tteokbokki, Korean,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    amount served

    When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.

  2. 02

    cooked-to-dry ratio

    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.

  3. 03

    sauce or mix-ins

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    added 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.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2708957 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 131 kcal per 100 g becomes 245 kcal at 187 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: 2708957

FNDDS food code: 58150520

The scaling for FDC 2708957 can be exact while the match to “Dukboki or Tteokbokki, Korean” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 187 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
