The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 717 calories for USDA reference amount at 248 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 289 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 32.2 g protein, 7.2 g fiber, and 1,590 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, italian, representing 38.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 19–3,867 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 2708689: “Pizza, with meat, whole wheat 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 2708689, 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Pizza, with meat, whole wheat thin crust,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708690 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 6.5 g and 1,338 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 19 kcal to 3,867 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708690

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.5 g less carbohydrate than “Pizza, with meat, whole wheat thick crust.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Bread, Italian

    The source formulation has 7 input rows; Bread, Italian supplies 38.5% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 4.5 g less carbohydrate and 2.4 g more total fat than “Pizza, with meat, whole wheat thick crust.”

2 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: Bread, Italian; Wheat bran, crude; Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve; Olive oil; and 3 more.

The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 248 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (134 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 278 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece, extra-large pizza (147 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708689 with FDC 2708690 at equal mass; use their 248 g and 278 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708689 versus FDC 2708690 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 meat, whole wheat 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.

  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 2708689 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 289 kcal per 100 g becomes 717 kcal at 248 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: 2708689

FNDDS food code: 58109030

The scaling for FDC 2708689 can be exact while the match to “Pizza, with meat, whole wheat thin crust” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 248 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
