The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 249 calories for 1 pizza at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 249 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.5 g protein, 2.1 g fiber, and 375 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is taco, corn tortilla, beef, cheese, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 pizza at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 249–299 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 2708507: “Mexican pizza.” 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 2708507, 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 | 75 g | 187 kcal | 11.6 g | 1.6 g | 281 mg |
| 1 pizzaUSDA-listed household measure | 100 g | 249 kcal | 15.5 g | 2.1 g | 375 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 120 g | 299 kcal | 18.6 g | 2.5 g | 450 mg |

The comparison set contains 41 exact records in the Other Mexican mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708507’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708507’s 100 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.
Strength-side signals
Iron2 mg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium35 mg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Mexican pizza,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 pizza to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 100 g and 120 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 249 kcal to 299 kcal.
- 02
Record identity: FDC 2708507
No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Mexican pizza” attached to any value copied from this profile.
- 03
Single listed source: Taco, corn tortilla, beef, cheese
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Use this profile only when “Mexican pizza” is the closest available description and the 100 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

What does this USDA record represent?
Begin with the exact USDA description, then compare preparation, additions, and gram weight. A nearby record is useful only when its identity is closer—not simply because its name sounds familiar.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

How to compare FDC 2708507: its source amount is 100 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Nutrient signals in the source amount
For FDC 2708507, Saturated fat is the largest displayed non-protein Daily Value signal. Read the set as label context—not a personalized score.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2708507 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Mexican pizza” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Taco, corn tortilla, beef, cheese is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.
100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.
| # | USDA input | Listed amount | Input weight | Share of listed input weight |

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708507, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Other Mexican mixed dishes” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.
No forced match
This record does not have a sufficiently close direct comparator in the published corpus.
No other published “Other Mexican mixed dishes” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2708507 to clear Feast’s close-record rule. A broad category neighbor would look relevant without establishing a defensible pair.

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 “Mexican pizza,” 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 2708507 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 249 kcal per 100 g becomes 249 kcal at 100 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.” The separately listed 1 pizza has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708507
FNDDS food code: 58101835
The scaling for FDC 2708507 can be exact while the match to “Mexican pizza” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
