The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 301 calories for 1 cup at 255 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 118 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 26.3 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 765 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 39.7% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup 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 2706407: “Guisada, pork.” 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 2706407, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706407’s 255 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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 “Guisada, pork,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706519 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 255 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 191.3–318.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 226 kcal and 376 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706519

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.8 g less dietary fiber than “Stew, pork.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 39.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706407 to 4 source inputs totaling 100.7 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Guisada, pork” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706407, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Meat mixed dishes” 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 2 g more protein, 3.8 g less carbohydrate, and 1.7 g more total fat than “Stew, pork.”

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: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vegetables as ingredient in stews; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised; Salt, table.

The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706407 with FDC 2706519 at equal mass; use their 255 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706407 versus FDC 2706519 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.

For “Guisada, pork,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    amount served

    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

    recipe and ingredient ratios

    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

    added cooking fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  4. 04

    sauces and 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 2706407 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 118 kcal per 100 g becomes 301 kcal at 255 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 cup 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: 2706407

FNDDS food code: 27120130

The scaling for FDC 2706407 can be exact while the match to “Guisada, pork” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 255 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
