Fish curry calories: 223 per 1 cup (240 g)

This exact USDA record reports 223 calories for 1 cup (240 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 223 calories for 1 cup at 240 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 93 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 11.9 g protein, 3.4 g fiber, and 842 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is curry sauce, representing 39.1% 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.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706460: “Fish curry.” 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 2706460, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706460’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 2706460’s 240 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 C21 mg

≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin A132 µg

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

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium842 mg

≈ 37% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat3.1 g

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fish curry,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706461 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 240 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 180–300 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 167 kcal and 279 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706461

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 8.6 g less carbohydrate than “Fish curry with rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Curry sauce

    The source formulation has 6 input rows; Curry sauce supplies 39.1% 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 the exact wording “Fish curry” fits. Inspect FDC 2706461 when the exact wording “Fish curry with rice” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706460, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Seafood mixed dishes” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories, 8.6 g less carbohydrate, and 2.1 g more total fat than “Fish curry with rice.”

Only this record lists Curry sauce; Vegetables as ingredient in curry; Fish, haddock, steamed; Shrimp, steamed or boiled. Only the comparison record lists Fish curry; Rice, cooked, NFS. 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.

Listed only in this record: Curry sauce; Vegetables as ingredient in curry; Fish, haddock, steamed; Shrimp, steamed or boiled; and 2 more.

Listed only in the comparison: Fish curry; Rice, cooked, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 240 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (240 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 200 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (200 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706460 with FDC 2706461 at equal mass; use their 240 g and 200 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706460 versus FDC 2706461 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, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.

For “Fish curry,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    species or cut

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    cooking method

    Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.

  4. 04

    breading, butter, or sauce

    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 2706460 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 93 kcal per 100 g becomes 223 kcal at 240 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: 2706460

FNDDS food code: 27150320

The scaling for FDC 2706460 can be exact while the match to “Fish curry” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 240 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
