The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 93 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 109 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 20.7 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 38 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, tuna, fresh, yellowfin, raw, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 93–147 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 2706308: “Fish, tuna, raw.” 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 2706308, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

Where 100 grams sits inside Fish

The comparison set contains 89 exact records in the Fish USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706308’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 2706308’s 85 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; 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

≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fish, tuna, raw,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706310 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 85 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 63.8–106.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 69 kcal and 116 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706310

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.7 g less total fat than “Fish, tuna, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Fish, tuna, fresh, yellowfin, raw

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “tuna; raw” fits. Inspect FDC 2706310 when “tuna; cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

How to compare FDC 2706308: its source amount is 85 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706308 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Fish, tuna, raw” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Fish, tuna, fresh, yellowfin, raw is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706308, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Fish” 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 67 less calories, 5.9 g less protein, and 4.7 g less total fat than “Fish, tuna, cooked.”

Only the comparison record lists Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table. 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: Fish, tuna, fresh, yellowfin, raw.

Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS; Salt, table.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 90 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small/regular fillet (90 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706308 with FDC 2706310 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 90 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706308 versus FDC 2706310 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, tuna, raw,” 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 2706308 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 109 kcal per 100 g becomes 93 kcal at 85 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: 2706308

FNDDS food code: 26153100

The scaling for FDC 2706308 can be exact while the match to “Fish, tuna, raw” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
