The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 191 calories for USDA reference amount at 32 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 598 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.1 g protein, 1.6 g fiber, and 5 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is peanut butter, smooth style, without salt, 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 tablespoon 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 96–269 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 2707538: “Peanut butter, lower sodium.” 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 2707538, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tablespoon” through “1 single serving” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 16 g | 96 kcal | 3.6 g | 0.8 g | 3 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 32 g | 191 kcal | 7.1 g | 1.6 g | 5 mg |
| 1 single servingUSDA-listed household measure | 45 g | 269 kcal | 10 g | 2.3 g | 8 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Nuts and seeds
The comparison set contains 68 exact records in the Nuts and seeds USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707538’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707538’s 32 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Peanut butter, lower sodium,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707539 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 tablespoon to 1 single serving
USDA assigns those measures 16 g and 45 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 96 kcal to 269 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707539
At an equal 100 g, this record has 137 mg less sodium than “Peanut butter, lower sodium and lower sugar.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Peanut butter, smooth style, without salt
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 “lower sodium” fits. Inspect FDC 2707539 when “lower sodium and lower sugar” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Only the comparison record lists Peanut spread, reduced sugar. 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 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: Peanut butter, smooth style, without salt.
Listed only in the comparison: Peanut spread, reduced sugar.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 32 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (16 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 32 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (16 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707538 with FDC 2707539 at equal mass; use their 32 g and 32 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707538 versus FDC 2707539 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 “Peanut butter, lower sodium,” 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 2707538 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 598 kcal per 100 g becomes 191 kcal at 32 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: 2707538
FNDDS food code: 42202010
The scaling for FDC 2707538 can be exact while the match to “Peanut butter, lower sodium” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 32 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
