The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 195 calories for USDA reference amount at 151 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 129 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 25.2 g protein, 0.8 g fiber, and 417 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, variety meats and by-products, liver, cooked, pan-fried, representing 60.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 slice with onions 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 28–261 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 2706876: “Liver, beef or calves, and onions.” 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 2706876, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch, cooked” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic inch, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 22 g | 28 kcal | 3.7 g | 0.1 g | 61 mg |
| 1 slice with onionsUSDA-listed household measure | 143 g | 184 kcal | 23.9 g | 0.7 g | 395 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 202 g | 261 kcal | 33.7 g | 1 g | 558 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706876’s 151 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Liver, beef or calves, and onions,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706754 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch, cooked to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 22 g and 202 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 28 kcal to 261 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706754
At an equal 100 g, this record has 20.5 g less total fat than “Beef steak with onions, Puerto Rican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, variety meats and by-products, liver, cooked, pan-fried
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beef, variety meats and by-products, liver, cooked, pan-fried supplies 60.9% 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 “beef or calves; and onions” fits. Inspect FDC 2706754 when “Puerto Rican style” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 “Liver, beef or calves, and onions,” 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 2706876 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 129 kcal per 100 g becomes 195 kcal at 151 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: 2706876
FNDDS food code: 27460750
The scaling for FDC 2706876 can be exact while the match to “Liver, beef or calves, and onions” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 151 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
