The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 15 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 22 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.8 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 1 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beans, snap, green, canned, no salt added, drained solids, 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 0–31 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 2709865: “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat.” 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 2709865, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cut piece” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cut pieceUSDA-listed household measure | 2 g | 0 kcal | 0 g | 0 g | 0 mg |
| 1 beanUSDA-listed household measure | 6 g | 1 kcal | 0.1 g | 0.1 g | 0 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 31 kcal | 1.6 g | 2.7 g | 3 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside String beans
The comparison set contains 15 exact records in the String beans USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709865’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 2709865’s 70 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat0.1 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium1 mg
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709867 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cut piece to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 140 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 0 kcal to 31 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709867
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.9 g less total fat than “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked with oil.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Beans, snap, green, canned, no salt added, drained solids
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 “canned; reduced sodium; cooked; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2709867 when “canned; reduced sodium; cooked with oil” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2709865 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 26 less calories and 2.9 g less total fat than “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked with oil.”
Only the comparison record lists Vegetable oil, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Beans, snap, green, canned, no salt added, drained solids.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (140 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 73 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (145 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709865 with FDC 2709867 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 73 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709865 versus FDC 2709867 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 beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat,” 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 2709865 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 22 kcal per 100 g becomes 15 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: 2709865
FNDDS food code: 75205120
The scaling for FDC 2709865 can be exact while the match to “Green beans, canned, reduced sodium, cooked, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
