Ice cream soda, flavors other than chocolate calories: 204 per 1 soda (240 g)
This exact USDA record reports 204 calories for 1 soda (240 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 204 calories for 1 soda at 240 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 85 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.2 g protein, 0.5 g fiber, and 74 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, carbonated, root beer, representing 73.7% 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 soda at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 163–204 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 2705656: “Ice cream soda, flavors other than 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 2705656, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 soda (10 fl oz)” 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 | 180 g | 153 kcal | 1.7 g | 0.4 g | 56 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 192 g | 163 kcal | 1.8 g | 0.4 g | 60 mg |
| 1 soda (10 fl oz)USDA-listed household measure | 240 g | 204 kcal | 2.2 g | 0.5 g | 74 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705656’s 240 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.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin A74.4 µg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Calcium89 mg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat4.3 g
≈ 21% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium74 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Ice cream soda, flavors other than chocolate,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705657 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 soda (10 fl oz)
USDA assigns those measures 192 g and 240 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 163 kcal to 204 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705657
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.1 g less dietary fiber than “Ice cream soda, chocolate.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, carbonated, root beer
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Beverages, carbonated, root beer supplies 73.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “flavors other than chocolate” fits. Inspect FDC 2705657 when “chocolate” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Ice creams, vanilla. Only the comparison record lists Ice creams, chocolate. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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, carbonated, root beer.
Listed only in this record: Ice creams, vanilla.
Listed only in the comparison: Ice creams, chocolate.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 240 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 soda (240 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 240 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 soda (240 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705656 with FDC 2705657 at equal mass; use their 240 g and 240 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705656 versus FDC 2705657 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, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Ice cream soda, flavors other than chocolate,” 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
fat level
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
brand or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2705656 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 85 kcal per 100 g becomes 204 kcal at 240 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 soda 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: 2705656
FNDDS food code: 13120800
The scaling for FDC 2705656 can be exact while the match to “Ice cream soda, flavors other than chocolate” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 240 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
