The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 285 calories for USDA reference amount at 111 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 257 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.4 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 420 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 80% 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 175–571 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 2707182: “Egg salad, made with mayonnaise.” 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 2707182, 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 | 175 kcal | 7 g | 0 g | 257 mg |
| 1 extra large eggUSDA-listed household measure | 82 g | 211 kcal | 8.4 g | 0 g | 310 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 222 g | 571 kcal | 22.9 g | 0 g | 839 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 2707182’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 2707182’s 111 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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

≈ 15% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin D2 µg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Egg salad, made with mayonnaise,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707183 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 175 kcal to 571 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707183
At an equal 100 g, this record has 10.1 g more total fat than “Egg salad, made with light mayonnaise.” 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 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 “made with mayonnaise” fits. Inspect FDC 2707183 when “made with light mayonnaise” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular.
Listed only in the comparison: Salad dressing, mayonnaise, light.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 111 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large egg (74 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 111 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large egg (74 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707182 with FDC 2707183 at equal mass; use their 111 g and 111 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707182 versus FDC 2707183 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 portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat, toppings and add-ins.
For “Egg salad, made with mayonnaise,” 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 2707182 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 257 kcal per 100 g becomes 285 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: 2707182
FNDDS food code: 32103000
The scaling for FDC 2707182 can be exact while the match to “Egg salad, made with mayonnaise” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 111 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
