The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 288 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 411 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 32 g protein, 5 g fiber, and 230 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is protein supplement, milk based, muscle milk, powder, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 scoop 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 144–288 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 2710735: “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk).” 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 2710735, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 scoop” 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 scoopUSDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 144 kcal | 16 g | 2.5 g | 115 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 52.5 g | 216 kcal | 24 g | 3.7 g | 173 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 70 g | 288 kcal | 32 g | 5 g | 230 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 11 exact records in the Protein and nutritional powders USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2710735’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2710735’s 70 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.
Vitamin A525 µg
≈ 58% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium140 mg
≈ 33% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium230 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.1 g
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710736 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 52.5–87.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 216 kcal and 360 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.1 g more dietary fiber than “Nutritional powder mix, light (Muscle Milk).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
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
Keep this record when the exact wording “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk)” fits. Inspect FDC 2710736 when “light (Muscle Milk)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
USDA links FDC 2710735 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk)” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
Protein supplement, milk based, Muscle Milk, powder 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.

Only this record lists Protein supplement, milk based, Muscle Milk, powder. Only the comparison record lists Protein supplement, milk based, Muscle Milk Light, powder. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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.

Deep comparisons
FDC 2710735 appears in 1 pair page that passed semantic, material-difference, source-evidence, and diversity gates. Each preserves a 100-gram denominator and both primary records.
Uncertainty, made actionable
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.
For “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk),” 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.
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.
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 2710735 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 411 kcal per 100 g becomes 288 kcal at 70 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: 2710735
FNDDS food code: 95202000
The scaling for FDC 2710735 can be exact while the match to “Nutritional powder mix (Muscle Milk)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
