The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 143 calories for USDA reference amount at 115 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 124 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, 0.9 g fiber, and 248 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 42.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 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 143–250 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 2706779: “Pork shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.” 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 2706779, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 shishkabob” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 115 g | 143 kcal | 16 g | 0.9 g | 248 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 154 g | 191 kcal | 21.4 g | 1.2 g | 333 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pork shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706730 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 shishkabob
USDA assigns those measures 154 g and 202 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 191 kcal to 250 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706730
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.9 g less protein than “Beef shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes.” 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 11 input rows; Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted supplies 42.9% 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 “excluding potatoes” fits. Inspect FDC 2706730 when “excluding potatoes” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
Only this record lists Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted. Only the comparison record lists Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Vegetable oil, NFS; Lime juice, raw; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Salt, table; and 6 more.
Listed only in this record: Pork, fresh, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted.
Listed only in the comparison: Beef, round, top round steak, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 1/8" fat, all grades, cooked, broiled.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (154 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (154 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706779 with FDC 2706730 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 115 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706779 versus FDC 2706730 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 shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes,” 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 2706779 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 124 kcal per 100 g becomes 143 kcal at 115 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: 2706779
FNDDS food code: 27420520
The scaling for FDC 2706779 can be exact while the match to “Pork shish kabob with vegetables, excluding potatoes” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
