Fritter, corn calories: 283 per 70 g
This exact USDA record reports 283 calories for 70 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 283 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 404 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.2 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 237 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, nfs, representing 27.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 141–424 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 2710047: “Fritter, corn.” 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 2710047, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fritter” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fritterUSDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 141 kcal | 2.6 g | 0.6 g | 119 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 70 g | 283 kcal | 5.2 g | 1.1 g | 237 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 105 g | 424 kcal | 7.7 g | 1.7 g | 356 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Biscuits, muffins, quick breads
The comparison set contains 34 exact records in the Biscuits, muffins, quick breads USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2710047’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 2710047’s 70 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Fritter, corn,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707816 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fritter to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 35 g and 105 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 141 kcal to 424 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707816
At an equal 100 g, this record has 22.8 g more total fat than “Corn pone, baked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, NFS
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Milk, NFS supplies 27.6% 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 “corn” fits. Inspect FDC 2707816 when “baked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

- 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 2710047, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Biscuits, muffins, quick breads” 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 190 more calories, 3.9 g more protein, and 6.1 g less carbohydrate than “Corn pone, baked.”
Only this record lists Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Milk, NFS; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Butter, stick, unsalted. Only the comparison record lists Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Shortening, vegetable, household, composite; Cornmeal, degermed, enriched, yellow; Leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Milk, NFS; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Butter, stick, unsalted; and 2 more.

Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (105 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 61 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (61 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710047 with FDC 2707816 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 61 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710047 versus FDC 2707816 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 item size, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Fritter, corn,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item 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
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.
- 03
moisture and density
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
spreads or toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2710047 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 404 kcal per 100 g becomes 283 kcal at 70 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: 2710047
FNDDS food code: 75411020
The scaling for FDC 2710047 can be exact while the match to “Fritter, corn” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
