The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 342 calories for 1 chop, any size at 180 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 33.1 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 745 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, chop, lean and fat eaten, representing 64.3% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 chop, any size at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 32–342 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 2705872: “Pork, chop, stuffed.” 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 2705872, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 chop, any size” 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 2705872’s 180 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. 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

≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Magnesium40 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Pork, chop, stuffed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706407 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 chop, any size

    USDA assigns those measures 17 g and 180 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 32 kcal to 342 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706407

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.3 g more carbohydrate than “Guisada, pork.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Pork, chop, lean and fat eaten

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Pork, chop, lean and fat eaten supplies 64.3% 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 “chop; stuffed” fits. Inspect FDC 2706407 when “pork” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2705872, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Meat mixed dishes” 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 72 more calories, 8.1 g more protein, and 5.3 g more carbohydrate than “Guisada, pork.”

Only this record lists Pork, chop, lean and fat eaten; Bread, stuffing, cornbread, dry mix, prepared. Only the comparison record lists Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vegetables as ingredient in stews; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

6 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.

Listed only in this record: Pork, chop, lean and fat eaten; Bread, stuffing, cornbread, dry mix, prepared.

Listed only in the comparison: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Vegetables as ingredient in stews; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised; Salt, table.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 180 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 chop, any size (180 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705872 with FDC 2706407 at equal mass; use their 180 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2705872 versus FDC 2706407 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, chop, stuffed,” 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 2705872 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 190 kcal per 100 g becomes 342 kcal at 180 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.” The separately listed 1 chop, any size has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2705872

FNDDS food code: 22101330

The scaling for FDC 2705872 can be exact while the match to “Pork, chop, stuffed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 180 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
