The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 116 calories for 1 scoop at 26 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 448 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 4.7 g fiber, and 123 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, unilever, slimfast shake mix, powder, 3-2-1 plan, 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 scoop at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710737: “Nutritional powder mix (Slim Fast).” 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 2710737, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 | 19.5 g | 87 kcal | 1.6 g | 3.5 g | 92 mg |
| 1 scoopUSDA-listed household measure | 26 g | 116 kcal | 2.1 g | 4.7 g | 123 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 32.5 g | 146 kcal | 2.6 g | 5.9 g | 153 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2710737’s 26 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Nutritional powder mix (Slim Fast),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710738 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 26 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 19.5–32.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 87 kcal and 146 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710738
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Nutritional powder mix, sugar free (Slim Fast).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Beverages, UNILEVER, SLIMFAST Shake Mix, powder, 3-2-1 Plan
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
Keep this record when the exact wording “Nutritional powder mix (Slim Fast)” fits. Inspect FDC 2710738 when “sugar free (Slim Fast)” 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.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations match
The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.
Shared listed inputs: Beverages, UNILEVER, SLIMFAST Shake Mix, powder, 3-2-1 Plan.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 26 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 scoop (26 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 14 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 scoop (14 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2710737 with FDC 2710738 at equal mass; use their 26 g and 14 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2710737 versus FDC 2710738 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
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, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.
For “Nutritional powder mix (Slim Fast),” 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
preparation
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.
- 03
added 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
sauce or seasoning
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 2710737 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 448 kcal per 100 g becomes 116 kcal at 26 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 scoop 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: 2710737
FNDDS food code: 95210000
The scaling for FDC 2710737 can be exact while the match to “Nutritional powder mix (Slim Fast)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 26 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
