The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 269 calories for 1 cup at 170 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 158 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10 g protein, 7.3 g fiber, and 389 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is kidney beans, from dried, fat added, representing 60% 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 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 2708993: “Kidney beans and white rice.” 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 2708993, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 127.5 g | 201 kcal | 7.5 g | 5.5 g | 292 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 269 kcal | 10 g | 7.3 g | 389 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 212.5 g | 336 kcal | 12.5 g | 9.1 g | 487 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Kidney beans and white rice,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708990 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 170 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 127.5–212.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 201 kcal and 336 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708990
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.6 g more dietary fiber than “Beans and white rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Kidney beans, from dried, fat added
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Kidney beans, from dried, fat added supplies 60% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

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 Kidney beans, from dried, fat added. Only the comparison record lists White beans, from dried, fat added. 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: Rice, white, cooked, no added fat.
Listed only in this record: Kidney beans, from dried, fat added.
Listed only in the comparison: White beans, from dried, fat added.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708993 with FDC 2708990 at equal mass; use their 170 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708993 versus FDC 2708990 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, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.
For “Kidney beans and white rice,” 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
preparation
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.
- 03
added 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
sauce or seasoning
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 2708993 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 158 kcal per 100 g becomes 269 kcal at 170 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: 2708993
FNDDS food code: 58160150
The scaling for FDC 2708993 can be exact while the match to “Kidney beans and white rice” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 170 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
