Dumpling, no meat calories: 94 per 1 cup (75 g)
This exact USDA record reports 94 calories for 1 cup (75 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 94 calories for 1 cup at 75 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 125 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.6 g protein, 0.5 g fiber, and 321 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, municipal, representing 47% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 cup 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 31–94 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 2708344: “Dumpling, no meat.” 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 2708344, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 item, any size” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 item, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 25 g | 31 kcal | 0.9 g | 0.2 g | 107 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 56.3 g | 70 kcal | 1.9 g | 0.4 g | 241 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 75 g | 94 kcal | 2.6 g | 0.5 g | 321 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Dumpling, no meat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707816 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 item, any size to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 25 g and 75 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 31 kcal to 94 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707816
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.2 g less dietary fiber than “Corn pone, baked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, municipal
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, municipal supplies 47% 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 “no meat” fits. Inspect FDC 2707816 when “baked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 89 less calories, 19.2 g less carbohydrate, and 1.2 g less dietary fiber than “Corn pone, baked.”
Only this record lists Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Milk, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow. 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: Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate; Salt, table; Shortening, vegetable, household, composite; Beverages, water, tap, municipal.
Listed only in this record: Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Milk, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 75 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (75 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 61 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (61 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708344 with FDC 2707816 at equal mass; use their 75 g and 61 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708344 versus FDC 2707816 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 “Dumpling, no meat,” 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 2708344 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 125 kcal per 100 g becomes 94 kcal at 75 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 cup 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: 2708344
FNDDS food code: 55610300
The scaling for FDC 2708344 can be exact while the match to “Dumpling, no meat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 75 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
