The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 117 calories for USDA reference amount at 248 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 47 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2 g protein, 0.7 g fiber, and 0 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is orange juice, no pulp, not fortified, not from concentrate, refrigerated, 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 Juice of 1 orange 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 11–117 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 2709187: “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed.” 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 2709187, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 fl oz (with ice)” through “Juice of 1 orange (2-5/8" dia)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fl oz (with ice)USDA-listed household measure | 23 g | 11 kcal | 0.2 g | 0.1 g | 0 mg |
| 1 fl oz (no ice)USDA-listed household measure | 31 g | 15 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.1 g | 0 mg |
| Juice of 1 orange (2-5/8" dia)USDA-listed household measure | 86 g | 40 kcal | 0.7 g | 0.3 g | 0 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709187’s 248 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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
Vitamin C76 mg
≈ 84% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Potassium454 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat0 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709176 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 fl oz (with ice) to Juice of 1 orange (2-5/8" dia)
USDA assigns those measures 23 g and 86 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 11 kcal to 40 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709176
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1 mg less sodium than “Grapefruit juice, 100%, freshly squeezed.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Orange juice, no pulp, not fortified, not from concentrate, refrigerated
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 “100%; freshly squeezed” fits. Inspect FDC 2709176 when “100%; freshly squeezed” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “100%” and “freshly squeezed”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

How to compare FDC 2709187: its source amount is 248 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

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 Orange juice, no pulp, not fortified, not from concentrate, refrigerated. Only the comparison record lists Grapefruit juice, white, raw. 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.
Listed only in this record: Orange juice, no pulp, not fortified, not from concentrate, refrigerated.
Listed only in the comparison: Grapefruit juice, white, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 248 g; a familiar listed measure is Juice of 1 orange (86 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 248 g; a familiar listed measure is Juice of 1 grapefruit (196 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709187 with FDC 2709176 at equal mass; use their 248 g and 248 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709187 versus FDC 2709176 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 drink size, recipe or formulation, milk or cream, sweeteners and add-ins.
For “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed,” resolve drink size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
drink size
Resolve drink 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.
- 02
recipe 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.
- 03
milk or cream
Identify the liquid base and fat level when you can. Dairy, plant-based beverages, cream, and water are different record choices—not interchangeable volume adjustments.
- 04
sweeteners and add-ins
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 2709187 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 47 kcal per 100 g becomes 117 kcal at 248 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.
Exact USDA description: Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2709187
FNDDS food code: 61210010
The scaling for FDC 2709187 can be exact while the match to “Orange juice, 100%, freshly squeezed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 248 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
