Green bean casserole calories: 64 per 115 g
This exact USDA record reports 64 calories for 115 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 64 calories for USDA reference amount at 115 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 56 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.3 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 363 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is green beans, cooked, as ingredient, representing 53.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 64–129 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 2710040: “Green bean casserole.” 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 2710040, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 86.3 g | 48 kcal | 1.7 g | 1.6 g | 273 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 115 g | 64 kcal | 2.3 g | 2.2 g | 363 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 230 g | 129 kcal | 4.5 g | 4.4 g | 727 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2710040’s 115 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Green bean casserole,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709655 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 115 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 86.3–143.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 48 kcal and 81 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709655
At an equal 100 g, this record has 8.1 g less carbohydrate than “Broccoli casserole with rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Green beans, cooked, as ingredient
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Green beans, cooked, as ingredient supplies 53.9% 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 51 less calories, 2.2 g less protein, and 8.1 g less carbohydrate than “Broccoli casserole with rice.”
Only this record lists Green beans, cooked, as ingredient; Milk, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Butter, stick, salted; Cheese, NFS; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked. 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: Soup, cream of mushroom, canned, condensed; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Green beans, cooked, as ingredient; Milk, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Butter, stick, salted; Cheese, NFS; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; and 1 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (230 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 114 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (228 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710040 with FDC 2709655 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 114 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710040 versus FDC 2709655 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Green bean casserole,” 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
raw versus cooked weight
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.
- 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
added fat 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 2710040 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 56 kcal per 100 g becomes 64 kcal at 115 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: 2710040
FNDDS food code: 75403020
The scaling for FDC 2710040 can be exact while the match to “Green bean casserole” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
