The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 186 calories for USDA reference amount at 115 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 162 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.8 g protein, 0.9 g fiber, and 255 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked, representing 42.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 source-input rows in all. 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 186–327 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 2706780: “Lamb shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.” 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 2706780, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 shishkabob” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706780’s 115 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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 “Lamb shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706730 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 shishkabob
USDA assigns those measures 154 g and 202 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 249 kcal to 327 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706730
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.4 g more total fat than “Beef shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked
The source formulation has 11 input rows; Lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked supplies 42.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 40 more calories, 2.8 g less protein, and 5.4 g more total fat than “Beef shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.”
Only this record lists Lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked. Only the comparison record lists Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Vegetable oil, NFS; Lime juice, raw; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Salt, table; and 6 more.
Listed only in this record: Lamb, composite of trimmed retail cuts, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/4" fat, choice, cooked.
Listed only in the comparison: Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (154 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (154 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706780 with FDC 2706730 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 115 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706780 versus FDC 2706730 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 “Lamb shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes,” 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 2706780 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 162 kcal per 100 g becomes 186 kcal at 115 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: 2706780
FNDDS food code: 27430610
The scaling for FDC 2706780 can be exact while the match to “Lamb shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
