The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 153 calories for USDA reference amount at 92 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 166 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.7 g protein, 6.7 g fiber, and 299 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt, representing 92.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 153–307 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 2707426: “Lentils, from canned.” 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 2707426, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 69 g | 115 kcal | 5.8 g | 5 g | 224 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 92 g | 153 kcal | 7.7 g | 6.7 g | 299 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Lentils, from canned,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707424 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 92 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 69–115 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 115 kcal and 191 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707424
At an equal 100 g, this record has 107 mg more sodium than “Lentils, from dried, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt supplies 92.7% 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 “from canned” fits. Inspect FDC 2707424 when “from dried; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Salt, table; Vegetable oil, NFS.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 92 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (185 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 92 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (185 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707426 with FDC 2707424 at equal mass; use their 92 g and 92 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707426 versus FDC 2707424 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 “Lentils, from canned,” 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 2707426 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 166 kcal per 100 g becomes 153 kcal at 92 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: 2707426
FNDDS food code: 41305020
The scaling for FDC 2707426 can be exact while the match to “Lentils, from canned” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 92 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
