The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 237 calories for USDA reference amount at 134 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 177 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 5.4 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 29 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, municipal, representing 27.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 13 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 112–237 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 2706844: “Fish, tofu, and vegetables, tempura.” 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 2706844, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706844’s 134 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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

Vitamin C23 mg

≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin A91.1 µg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fish, tofu, and vegetables, tempura,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706867 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 134 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 100.5–167.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 178 kcal and 296 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706867

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 15 g more total fat than “Fish shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, municipal

    The source formulation has 13 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, municipal supplies 27.1% 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 “tofu; and vegetables; tempura” fits. Inspect FDC 2706867 when “excluding potatoes” 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 2706844, 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 109 more calories, 5.4 g less protein, and 15 g more total fat than “Fish shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.”

Only this record lists Tofu, soft, prepared with calcium sulfate and magnesium chloride (nigari); Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture); Squash, summer, zucchini, includes skin, raw; Beans, snap, green, raw. Only the comparison record lists Lime juice, raw; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Salt, table; Parsley, fresh. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

4 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: Vegetable oil, NFS.

Listed only in this record: Tofu, soft, prepared with calcium sulfate and magnesium chloride (nigari); Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture); Squash, summer, zucchini, includes skin, raw; Beans, snap, green, raw; and 8 more.

Listed only in the comparison: Lime juice, raw; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Salt, table; Parsley, fresh; and 6 more.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 134 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (63 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 77 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (154 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706844 with FDC 2706867 at equal mass; use their 134 g and 77 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706844 versus FDC 2706867 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, tofu, and vegetables, tempura,” 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 2706844 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 177 kcal per 100 g becomes 237 kcal at 134 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: 2706844

FNDDS food code: 27450150

The scaling for FDC 2706844 can be exact while the match to “Fish, tofu, and vegetables, tempura” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 134 g weight, 13-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
