The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 236 calories for 1 cup at 200 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 118 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.6 g protein, 4.4 g fiber, and 656 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is lentil curry, 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 2707432: “Lentil curry with 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 2707432, 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 | 150 g | 177 kcal | 4.9 g | 3.3 g | 492 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 200 g | 236 kcal | 6.6 g | 4.4 g | 656 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 250 g | 295 kcal | 8.2 g | 5.5 g | 820 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707432’s 200 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Lentil curry with rice,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707431 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 200 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 150–250 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 177 kcal and 295 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707431
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.2 g less total fat than “Lentil curry.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Lentil curry
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Lentil curry supplies 60% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

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 “Lentil curry with 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 2707432 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 118 kcal per 100 g becomes 236 kcal at 200 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: 2707432
FNDDS food code: 41311040
The scaling for FDC 2707432 can be exact while the match to “Lentil curry with rice” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 200 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
