Lobster gumbo calories: 72 per 122 g
This exact USDA record reports 72 calories for 122 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 72 calories for USDA reference amount at 122 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 59 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.6 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 351 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish broth, representing 41.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 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 72–144 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 2707141: “Lobster gumbo.” 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 2707141, 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 | 91.5 g | 54 kcal | 5.7 g | 0.8 g | 264 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 122 g | 72 kcal | 7.6 g | 1.1 g | 351 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 244 g | 144 kcal | 15.1 g | 2.2 g | 703 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707141’s 122 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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 “Lobster gumbo,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707142 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 122 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 91.5–152.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 54 kcal and 90 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707142
At an equal 100 g, this record has 89 mg less sodium than “Shrimp gumbo.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fish broth
The source formulation has 9 input rows; Fish broth supplies 41.3% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 89 mg less sodium than “Shrimp gumbo.”
Only this record lists Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat. Only the comparison record lists Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Onions, raw; Celery, raw; Butter, stick, salted; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; and 4 more.
Listed only in this record: Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat.
Listed only in the comparison: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 122 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 122 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707141 with FDC 2707142 at equal mass; use their 122 g and 122 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707141 versus FDC 2707142 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, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.
For “Lobster gumbo,” 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
species or cut
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
cooking method
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.
- 04
breading, butter, or sauce
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 2707141 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 59 kcal per 100 g becomes 72 kcal at 122 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: 2707141
FNDDS food code: 28355260
The scaling for FDC 2707141 can be exact while the match to “Lobster gumbo” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 122 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
