The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 178 calories for 1 cone at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 142 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4 g protein, 2.9 g fiber, and 89 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is frozen yogurts, chocolate, representing 96% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 cone 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 2705459: “Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate.” 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 2705459, 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 | 93.8 g | 133 kcal | 3 g | 2.2 g | 67 mg |
| 1 coneUSDA-listed household measure | 125 g | 178 kcal | 4 g | 2.9 g | 89 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 156.3 g | 222 kcal | 5 g | 3.6 g | 111 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705459’s 125 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705453 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 125 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 93.8–156.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 133 kcal and 222 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705453
At an equal 100 g, this record has 11 kcal more calories than “Frozen yogurt, chocolate.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Frozen yogurts, chocolate
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Frozen yogurts, chocolate supplies 96% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 11 more calories than “Frozen yogurt, chocolate.”
Only this record lists Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Frozen yogurts, chocolate.
Listed only in this record: Ice cream cones, cake or wafer-type.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cone (125 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 175 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (175 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705459 with FDC 2705453 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 175 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705459 versus FDC 2705453 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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.
For “Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
piece or 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
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
fillings or frosting
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fats and sugars
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 2705459 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 142 kcal per 100 g becomes 178 kcal at 125 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 cone 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: 2705459
FNDDS food code: 11461250
The scaling for FDC 2705459 can be exact while the match to “Frozen yogurt cone, chocolate” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
