Fish in lemon-butter sauce with starch item, vegetable, frozen meal calories: 287 per 1 meal (284 g)
This exact USDA record reports 287 calories for 1 meal (284 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 287 calories for 1 meal at 284 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 101 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.5 g protein, 3.1 g fiber, and 1,284 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, cod, pacific, raw (may have been previously frozen), representing 24% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 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 meal 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 2707119: “Fish in lemon-butter sauce with starch item, vegetable, frozen meal.” 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 2707119, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 213 g | 215 kcal | 11.6 g | 2.3 g | 963 mg |
| 1 meal (10 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 284 g | 287 kcal | 15.5 g | 3.1 g | 1,284 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 355 g | 359 kcal | 19.4 g | 3.9 g | 1,605 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707119’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 2707119’s 284 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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
Dietary fiber3.1 g
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Fish in lemon-butter sauce with starch item, vegetable, frozen meal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707120 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 284 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 213–355 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 215 kcal and 359 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707120
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.1 g more total fat than “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fish, cod, Pacific, raw (may have been previously frozen)
The source formulation has 11 input rows; Fish, cod, Pacific, raw (may have been previously frozen) supplies 24% 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 “vegetable; frozen meal” fits. Inspect FDC 2707120 when “diet frozen meal” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 10 more calories, 2.4 g less carbohydrate, and 2.1 g more total fat than “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal.”
Only this record lists Fish, cod, Pacific, raw (may have been previously frozen); Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Peas, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Oil, cottonseed, salad or cooking. Only the comparison record lists Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Beverages, Wine, non-alcoholic. 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: Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Butter, stick, salted; Cornstarch; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Fish, cod, Pacific, raw (may have been previously frozen); Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Peas, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Oil, cottonseed, salad or cooking; and 3 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Beverages, Wine, non-alcoholic; and 8 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 284 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (284 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 312 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (312 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707119 with FDC 2707120 at equal mass; use their 284 g and 312 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707119 versus FDC 2707120 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 in lemon-butter sauce with starch item, vegetable, frozen meal,” 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 2707119 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 101 kcal per 100 g becomes 287 kcal at 284 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 meal 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: 2707119
FNDDS food code: 28150510
The scaling for FDC 2707119 can be exact while the match to “Fish in lemon-butter sauce with starch item, vegetable, frozen meal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 284 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
