The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 239 calories for USDA reference amount at 135 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 177 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.3 g protein, 0.7 g fiber, and 865 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat, representing 68.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 lobster 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 239–708 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706563: “Lobster with bread stuffing, baked.” 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
For FDC 2706563, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 lobster” 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 | 101.3 g | 179 kcal | 15.2 g | 0.5 g | 649 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 135 g | 239 kcal | 20.3 g | 0.7 g | 865 mg |
| 1 lobsterUSDA-listed household measure | 400 g | 708 kcal | 60 g | 2 g | 2,564 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706563’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706563’s 135 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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.
Calcium149 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium47 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium865 mg
≈ 38% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat5.6 g
≈ 28% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Lobster with bread stuffing, baked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707141 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 101.3–168.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 179 kcal and 299 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.5 g more total fat than “Lobster gumbo.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat supplies 68.6% 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 118 more calories, 8.8 g more protein, and 5.2 g more carbohydrate than “Lobster gumbo.”
Only this record lists Bread, white, commercially prepared. Only the comparison record lists Celery, raw; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
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: Crustaceans, lobster, northern, cooked, moist heat; Butter, stick, salted; Onions, raw; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Bread, white, commercially prepared.
Listed only in the comparison: Celery, raw; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added; and 1 more.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 135 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 lobster (400 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 2706563 with FDC 2707141 at equal mass; use their 135 g and 122 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706563 versus FDC 2707141 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
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 with bread stuffing, baked,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
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.
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
FDC 2706563 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 177 kcal per 100 g becomes 239 kcal at 135 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: 2706563
FNDDS food code: 27250260
The scaling for FDC 2706563 can be exact while the match to “Lobster with bread stuffing, baked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 135 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
