The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 320 calories for 1 cup at 170 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 188 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10 g protein, 8.5 g fiber, and 503 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pinto beans, from dried, fat added, representing 58.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. 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 cup 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 2708989: “Pinto beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant.” 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 2708989, 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 | 127.5 g | 240 kcal | 7.5 g | 6.4 g | 377 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 320 kcal | 10 g | 8.5 g | 503 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 212.5 g | 400 kcal | 12.5 g | 10.6 g | 629 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pinto beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708986 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 170 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 127.5–212.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 240 kcal and 400 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708986
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.4 g more dietary fiber than “Beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pinto beans, from dried, fat added
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Pinto beans, from dried, fat added supplies 58.1% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “from fast food / restaurant” fits. Inspect FDC 2708986 when “from fast food / restaurant” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 1.4 g more dietary fiber than “Beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant.”
Only this record lists Pinto beans, from dried, fat added. Only the comparison record lists White beans, from dried, fat added. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Rice, white, cooked, no added fat; Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Pinto beans, from dried, fat added.
Listed only in the comparison: White beans, from dried, fat added.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708989 with FDC 2708986 at equal mass; use their 170 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708989 versus FDC 2708986 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 restaurant formulation and serving size, portion size, preparation, added fat.
For “Pinto beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving 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
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708989 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 188 kcal per 100 g becomes 320 kcal at 170 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 cup 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: 2708989
FNDDS food code: 58160106
The scaling for FDC 2708989 can be exact while the match to “Pinto beans and rice, from fast food / restaurant” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 170 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
