The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 62 calories for USDA reference amount at 72 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 86 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 222 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is eggs, grade a, large, egg white, representing 93.2% 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 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 31–116 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 2707284: “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, made with margarine.” 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 2707284, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 egg white” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 egg whiteUSDA-listed household measure | 36 g | 31 kcal | 3.6 g | 0 g | 111 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 72 g | 62 kcal | 7.2 g | 0 g | 222 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 116 kcal | 13.5 g | 0 g | 416 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, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707284’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 2707284’s 72 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
Sodium222 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.6 g
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, made with margarine,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707289 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 egg white to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 36 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 31 kcal to 116 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707289
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.2 g more total fat than “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg white
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg white supplies 93.2% 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 “scrambled; or fried; made with margarine” fits. Inspect FDC 2707289 when “scrambled; or fried; no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 34 more calories and 4.2 g more total fat than “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, no added fat.”
Only this record lists Margarine, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg white; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Margarine, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 72 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 66 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707284 with FDC 2707289 at equal mass; use their 72 g and 66 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707284 versus FDC 2707289 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 of absorbed frying fat, portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat.
For “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, made with margarine,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount of absorbed frying 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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707284 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 86 kcal per 100 g becomes 62 kcal at 72 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: 2707284
FNDDS food code: 32400060
The scaling for FDC 2707284 can be exact while the match to “Egg white omelet, scrambled, or fried, made with margarine” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 72 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
