The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 171 calories for USDA reference amount at 163 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 105 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.5 g protein, 2.4 g fiber, and 667 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is restaurant, chinese, beef and vegetables, 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 171–228 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 2706741: “Hunan beef.” 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 2706741, 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 | 122.3 g | 128 kcal | 8.7 g | 1.8 g | 500 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 163 g | 171 kcal | 11.5 g | 2.4 g | 667 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 217 g | 228 kcal | 15.4 g | 3.3 g | 888 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 60 exact records in the Stir-fry and soy-based sauce mixtures USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706741’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 2706741’s 163 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin C19 mg
≈ 21% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin A102.7 µg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Hunan beef,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706740 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 163 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 122.3–203.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 128 kcal and 214 kcal.
- 02
Source identity: FDC 2706741 versus 2706740
The closest published neighbor currently carries the same nutrient, portion, and source-input evidence. The FDC IDs still identify separate source records, so the exact citation remains the deciding field.
- 03
Single listed source: Restaurant, Chinese, beef and vegetables
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
The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2706741 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2706741 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Hunan beef” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Restaurant, Chinese, beef and vegetables is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.
100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.
| # | USDA input | Listed amount | Input weight | Share of listed input weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2706741, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Stir-fry and soy-based sauce mixtures” 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.

Source-equivalent fields
Different source identities, matching published reference fields
Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2706741 and FDC 2706740 match exactly. Their descriptions and source identities remain distinct provenance; matching database fields do not make every real-world version interchangeable.
Practical reading: do not infer a nutrient difference from the names alone. Choose the description that more closely matches what was reported, while treating the shared values as a standardized reference rather than a measurement of your plate.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706741 versus FDC 2706740 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 “Hunan beef,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2706741 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 105 kcal per 100 g becomes 171 kcal at 163 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: 2706741
FNDDS food code: 27415140
The scaling for FDC 2706741 can be exact while the match to “Hunan beef” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 163 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
