The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 235 calories for USDA reference amount at 111 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 212 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.3 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 466 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled, representing 78.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 large egg 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 144–471 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 2707186: “Egg salad, made with creamy dressing.” 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 2707186, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 medium egg” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 medium eggUSDA-listed household measure | 68 g | 144 kcal | 6.9 g | 0 g | 286 mg |
| 1 extra large eggUSDA-listed household measure | 82 g | 174 kcal | 8.4 g | 0 g | 344 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 222 g | 471 kcal | 22.6 g | 0 g | 932 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Eggs and omelets
The comparison set contains 116 exact records in the Eggs and omelets USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2707186’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Egg salad, made with creamy dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707187 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 medium egg to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 68 g and 222 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 144 kcal to 471 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707187
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.4 g more total fat than “Egg salad, made with light creamy dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled supplies 78.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

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 portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat, toppings and add-ins.
For “Egg salad, made with creamy dressing,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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
cooking 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.
- 04
toppings and add-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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707186 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 212 kcal per 100 g becomes 235 kcal at 111 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: 2707186
FNDDS food code: 32103030
The scaling for FDC 2707186 can be exact while the match to “Egg salad, made with creamy dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 111 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
