The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 160 calories for USDA reference amount at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 267 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 12.5 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 419 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork sausage, link/patty, reduced fat, cooked, pan-fried, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 piece 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 27–368 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 2706192: “Pork sausage, reduced fat.” 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 2706192, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cocktail or miniature link” through “1 cup, NFS” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cocktail or miniature linkUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 27 kcal | 2.1 g | 0 g | 70 mg |
| 1 bun-size or griller linkUSDA-listed household measure | 75 g | 200 kcal | 15.7 g | 0 g | 524 mg |
| 1 cup, NFSUSDA-listed household measure | 138 g | 368 kcal | 28.8 g | 0 g | 963 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706192’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pork sausage, reduced fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706193 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cocktail or miniature link to 1 cup, NFS
USDA assigns those measures 10 g and 138 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 27 kcal to 368 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706193
At an equal 100 g, this record has 13.1 g less carbohydrate than “Pork sausage, reduced sodium.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Pork sausage, link/patty, reduced fat, cooked, pan-fried
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “reduced fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2706193 when “reduced sodium” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 sausage, reduced fat,” 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 2706192 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 267 kcal per 100 g becomes 160 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: 2706192
FNDDS food code: 25221406
The scaling for FDC 2706192 can be exact while the match to “Pork sausage, reduced fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
