The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 263 calories for USDA reference amount at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 210 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.8 g protein, 3.1 g fiber, and 543 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cheese sauce, representing 45.4% 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 order 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 15–525 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 2708582: “Nachos, with beans.” 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 2708582, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 chip” through “1 item, any size” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 chipUSDA-listed household measure | 7 g | 15 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.2 g | 30 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 284 kcal | 6.2 g | 3.4 g | 586 mg |
| 1 item, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 525 kcal | 11.6 g | 6.3 g | 1,085 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 338 exact records in Feast’s broader Sandwiches, burgers & wraps category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2708582’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2708582’s 125 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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.
Dietary fiber3.1 g
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium41 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium543 mg
≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.8 g
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Nachos, with beans,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708581 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 7 g and 250 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 15 kcal to 525 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5 g less protein than “Nachos, chicken, with beans.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Cheese sauce supplies 45.4% 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 5 g less protein, 5 g more carbohydrate, and 0.5 g more dietary fiber than “Nachos, chicken, with beans.”
Only the comparison record lists Chicken as ingredient in recipes. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Snacks, tortilla chips, plain, white corn, salted; Cheese sauce; Refried beans, canned, traditional, reduced sodium; Salt, table.
Listed only in the comparison: Chicken as ingredient in recipes.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 order (250 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708582 with FDC 2708581 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 125 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708582 versus FDC 2708581 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 item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Nachos, with beans,” resolve item 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.
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
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
FDC 2708582 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 210 kcal per 100 g becomes 263 kcal at 125 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
