The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 230 calories for USDA reference amount at 121 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 190 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 18 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 413 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted, representing 45.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup 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 230–308 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 2706762: “Pork and watercress with soy-based sauce.” 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 2706762, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 90.8 g | 172 kcal | 13.5 g | 0.5 g | 309 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pork and watercress with soy-based sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706408 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 121 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 90.8–151.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 172 kcal and 287 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706408
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Pork or ham with soy-based sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted supplies 45.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
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: Soup, beef broth or bouillon canned, ready-to-serve; Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted; Vegetable oil, NFS; Garlic, raw; and 4 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 121 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (162 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 183 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706762 with FDC 2706408 at equal mass; use their 121 g and 183 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706762 versus FDC 2706408 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 “Pork and watercress with soy-based sauce,” 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 2706762 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 190 kcal per 100 g becomes 230 kcal at 121 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: 2706762
FNDDS food code: 27420120
The scaling for FDC 2706762 can be exact while the match to “Pork and watercress with soy-based sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 121 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
