The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 242 calories for USDA reference amount at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 404 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 16 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 269 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, backribs, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted, representing 89.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 slice, any size 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 69–545 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 2705901: “Pork, belly.” 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 2705901, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cubic inchUSDA-listed household measure | 17 g | 69 kcal | 4.5 g | 0 g | 76 mg |
| 1 slice, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 121 kcal | 8 g | 0 g | 134 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 545 kcal | 35.9 g | 0 g | 605 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Pork
The comparison set contains 21 exact records in the Pork USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2705901’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705901’s 60 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat7 g
≈ 35% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium269 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pork, belly,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705894 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 17 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 69 kcal to 545 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705894
At an equal 100 g, this record has 12.1 g less carbohydrate than “Pork, ribs.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pork, fresh, backribs, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Pork, fresh, backribs, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted supplies 89.4% 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 “belly” fits. Inspect FDC 2705894 when “ribs” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Shared listed inputs: Pork, fresh, backribs, separable lean and fat, cooked, roasted; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Pork, fresh, separable fat, cooked.
Listed only in the comparison: Sauce, barbecue.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice, any size (30 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 105 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705901 with FDC 2705894 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 105 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705901 versus FDC 2705894 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 portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Pork, belly,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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.
- 02
cut and fat trim
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
cooking method
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
breading, marinade, or sauce
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 2705901 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 404 kcal per 100 g becomes 242 kcal at 60 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: 2705901
FNDDS food code: 22708020
The scaling for FDC 2705901 can be exact while the match to “Pork, belly” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
