The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 493 calories for USDA reference amount at 184 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 268 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 22.3 g protein, 4 g fiber, and 1,010 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast food, pizza chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust, representing 94.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 piece, extra-large pizza 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 13–2,830 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 2708622: “Pizza, extra cheese, thin crust.” 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 2708622, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 surface inchUSDA-listed household measure | 4.8 g | 13 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.1 g | 26 mg |
| 1 personal size pizza (5-7" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 136 g | 364 kcal | 16.5 g | 3 g | 747 mg |
| 1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)USDA-listed household measure | 1,056 g | 2,830 kcal | 127.8 g | 23.2 g | 5,797 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708622’s 184 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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 “Pizza, extra cheese, thin crust,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708629 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)
USDA assigns those measures 4.8 g and 1,056 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 13 kcal to 2,830 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708629
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.4 g more protein than “Pizza with cheese and extra vegetables, thin crust.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust supplies 94.4% 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 “extra cheese; thin crust” fits. Inspect FDC 2708629 when “thin crust” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 60 more calories, 3.4 g more protein, and 5.7 g more carbohydrate than “Pizza with cheese and extra vegetables, thin crust.”
Only this record lists Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim. Only the comparison record lists Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Peppers, sweet, green, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Mushrooms, cooked, as ingredient; Olives, ripe, canned (small-extra large). Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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: Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust.
Listed only in this record: Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim.
Listed only in the comparison: Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Peppers, sweet, green, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Mushrooms, cooked, as ingredient; Olives, ripe, canned (small-extra large).
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 184 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (106 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 240 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small pizza (394 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708622 with FDC 2708629 at equal mass; use their 184 g and 240 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708622 versus FDC 2708629 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 amount served, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Pizza, extra cheese, thin crust,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount served
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
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
added cooking 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
sauces and toppings
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 2708622 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 268 kcal per 100 g becomes 493 kcal at 184 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: 2708622
FNDDS food code: 58106250
The scaling for FDC 2708622 can be exact while the match to “Pizza, extra cheese, thin crust” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 184 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
