The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 272 calories for USDA reference amount at 280 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 97 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.2 g protein, 0.8 g fiber, and 143 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, lowfat, fluid, 1% milkfat, with added vitamin a and vitamin d, representing 62.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 27–272 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 2705505: “Milk shake, home recipe, chocolate, light.” 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 2705505, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl ozUSDA-listed household measure | 28 g | 27 kcal | 1.1 g | 0.1 g | 14 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 224 g | 217 kcal | 8.9 g | 0.7 g | 114 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 280 g | 272 kcal | 11.2 g | 0.8 g | 143 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705505’s 280 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Milk shake, home recipe, chocolate, light,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705506 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 28 g and 224 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 27 kcal to 217 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705506
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.2 g more dietary fiber than “Milk shake, home recipe, flavors other than chocolate, light.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, lowfat, fluid, 1% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Milk, lowfat, fluid, 1% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D supplies 62.2% 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 “home recipe; chocolate; light” fits. Inspect FDC 2705506 when “home recipe; flavors other than chocolate; light” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Ice creams, chocolate, light. Only the comparison record lists Ice creams, vanilla, light. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Milk, lowfat, fluid, 1% milkfat, with added vitamin A and vitamin D.
Listed only in this record: Ice creams, chocolate, light.
Listed only in the comparison: Ice creams, vanilla, light.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 280 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (224 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 280 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (224 g).

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, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Milk shake, home recipe, chocolate, light,” 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
fat level
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
brand or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2705505 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 97 kcal per 100 g becomes 272 kcal at 280 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: 2705505
FNDDS food code: 11541130
The scaling for FDC 2705505 can be exact while the match to “Milk shake, home recipe, chocolate, light” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 280 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
