The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 152 calories for USDA reference amount at 92 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 165 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.7 g protein, 6 g fiber, and 201 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is lima beans, large, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt, representing 92.9% 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 119–305 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 2707369: “Lima beans, from dried.” 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 2707369, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz dry, yield after cooking” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz dry, yield after cookingUSDA-listed household measure | 72 g | 119 kcal | 5.2 g | 4.7 g | 157 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Lima beans, from dried,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707387 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz dry, yield after cooking to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 72 g and 185 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 119 kcal to 305 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707387
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.2 g less dietary fiber than “Peruvian beans, from dried.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Lima beans, large, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Lima beans, large, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt supplies 92.9% 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 27 less calories, 1.3 g less protein, and 4.1 g less carbohydrate than “Peruvian beans, from dried.”
Only this record lists Lima beans, large, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Beans, yellow, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Lima beans, large, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt.
Listed only in the comparison: Beans, yellow, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
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 2707369 with FDC 2707387 at equal mass; use their 92 g and 92 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707369 versus FDC 2707387 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 “Lima beans, from dried,” 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 2707369 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 165 kcal per 100 g becomes 152 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: 2707369
FNDDS food code: 41103010
The scaling for FDC 2707369 can be exact while the match to “Lima beans, from dried” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 92 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
