The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 822 calories for USDA reference amount at 300 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 274 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 41.4 g protein, 5.4 g fiber, and 1,713 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 79.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 21–4,313 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 2708658: “Pizza with extra meat, medium 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 2708658, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708658’s 300 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Pizza with extra meat, medium crust,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708668 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 extra-large pizza (16-18" diameter)

    USDA assigns those measures 7.8 g and 1,574 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 21 kcal to 4,313 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708668

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.1 g more total fat than “Pizza with extra meat and extra vegetables, medium crust.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust

    The source formulation has 5 input rows; Fast Food, Pizza Chain, 14" pizza, cheese topping, regular crust supplies 79.4% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708658, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pizza” 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.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 41 more calories, 2.4 g more protein, and 3.1 g more total fat than “Pizza with extra meat and extra vegetables, medium crust.”

Only this record lists Pepperoni, beef and pork, sliced. Only the comparison record lists Green pepper, cooked, as ingredient; Onions, cooked, as ingredient; 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.

4 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; Sausage, Italian, pork, mild, cooked, pan-fried; Beef, ground, 85% lean meat / 15% fat, crumbles, cooked, pan-browned; Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only.

Listed only in this record: Pepperoni, beef and pork, sliced.

Listed only in the comparison: Green pepper, cooked, as ingredient; Onions, cooked, as ingredient; Mushrooms, cooked, as ingredient; Olives, ripe, canned (small-extra large).

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 300 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (157 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 318 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (169 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708658 with FDC 2708668 at equal mass; use their 300 g and 318 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708658 versus FDC 2708668 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 with extra meat, medium crust,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2708658 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 274 kcal per 100 g becomes 822 kcal at 300 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: 2708658

FNDDS food code: 58106655

The scaling for FDC 2708658 can be exact while the match to “Pizza with extra meat, medium crust” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 300 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
