The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 168 calories for USDA reference amount at 28 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 599 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.8 g protein, 2.6 g fiber, and 2 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is peanuts, all types, oil-roasted, 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 cup, in shell, yields 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 6–875 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 2707516: “Peanuts, roasted, unsalted.” 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 2707516, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 peanut, without shell” through “1 cup, without shell, NS as to form” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 peanut, without shellUSDA-listed household measure | 1 g | 6 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.1 g | 0 mg |
| 1 oz, without shell, NS as to formUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 170 kcal | 8 g | 2.7 g | 2 mg |
| 1 cup, without shell, NS as to formUSDA-listed household measure | 146 g | 875 kcal | 40.9 g | 13.7 g | 9 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 68 exact records in the Nuts and seeds USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707516’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 2707516’s 28 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
Magnesium49 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber2.6 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Peanuts, roasted, unsalted,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707519 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 peanut, without shell to 1 cup, without shell, NS as to form
USDA assigns those measures 1 g and 146 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 6 kcal to 875 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707519
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6 g less carbohydrate than “Peanuts, dry roasted, unsalted.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Peanuts, all types, oil-roasted, 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 “roasted; unsalted” fits. Inspect FDC 2707519 when “dry roasted; unsalted” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Nutrient signals in the source amount
For FDC 2707516, Total fat is the largest displayed non-protein Daily Value signal. Read the set as label context—not a personalized score.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707516 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Peanuts, roasted, unsalted” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Peanuts, all types, oil-roasted, without salt 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.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
- NS as to… means “not specified as to…” the detail that follows. It preserves an unknown distinction; it does not mean the ingredient or characteristic is absent.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2707516, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Nuts and seeds” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient 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 “Peanuts, roasted, unsalted,” 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 2707516 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 599 kcal per 100 g becomes 168 kcal at 28 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: 2707516
FNDDS food code: 42111110
The scaling for FDC 2707516 can be exact while the match to “Peanuts, roasted, unsalted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 28 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
