Lasagna, meatless, with vegetables calories: 470 per 1 cup (250 g)
This exact USDA record reports 470 calories for 1 cup (250 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 470 calories for 1 cup at 250 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 188 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 28 g protein, 3 g fiber, and 960 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt, representing 25.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 15 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.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 43–3,850 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 2708759: “Lasagna, meatless, with vegetables.” 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 2708759, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 lasagna (7" x 12")” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 surface inchUSDA-listed household measure | 22.8 g | 43 kcal | 2.6 g | 0.3 g | 88 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 470 kcal | 28 g | 3 g | 960 mg |
| 1 lasagna (7" x 12")USDA-listed household measure | 2,048 g | 3,850 kcal | 229.4 g | 24.6 g | 7,864 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 169 exact records in the Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2708759’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 2708759’s 250 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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
Calcium670 mg
≈ 52% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Lasagna, meatless, with vegetables,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708758 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 lasagna (7" x 12")
USDA assigns those measures 22.8 g and 2,048 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 43 kcal to 3,850 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708758
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.1 g more total fat than “Lasagna, meatless.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt
The source formulation has 15 input rows; Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt supplies 25.7% 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 “meatless; with vegetables” fits. Inspect FDC 2708758 when “meatless” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708759, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese” 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 58 more calories, 4.7 g more protein, and 4.1 g more total fat than “Lasagna, meatless.”
Only this record lists Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt; Vegetable oil, NFS; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Garlic, raw. Only the comparison record lists Lasagna, cheese, frozen, prepared. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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.
Listed only in this record: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt; Vegetable oil, NFS; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Garlic, raw; and 11 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Lasagna, cheese, frozen, prepared.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 250 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 250 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708759 with FDC 2708758 at equal mass; use their 250 g and 250 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708759 versus FDC 2708758 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, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Lasagna, meatless, with vegetables,” 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
cooked-to-dry ratio
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 03
sauce or mix-ins
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708759 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 188 kcal per 100 g becomes 470 kcal at 250 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: 2708759
FNDDS food code: 58130320
The scaling for FDC 2708759 can be exact while the match to “Lasagna, meatless, with vegetables” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 250 g weight, 15-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
