The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 163 calories for 1 cup at 30 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 544 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 18.4 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 546 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is snacks, pork skins, plain, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 cup 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 5–462 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 2705902: “Pork skin rinds.” 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 2705902, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 rind” through “1 large single serving bag” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 rindUSDA-listed household measure | 1 g | 5 kcal | 0.6 g | 0 g | 18 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 30 g | 163 kcal | 18.4 g | 0 g | 546 mg |
| 1 large single serving bagUSDA-listed household measure | 85 g | 462 kcal | 52.1 g | 0 g | 1,547 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 2705902’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 2705902’s 30 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
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
Sodium546 mg
≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat3.4 g
≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pork skin rinds,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705895 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 rind to 1 large single serving bag
USDA assigns those measures 1 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 5 kcal to 462 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705895
At an equal 100 g, this record has 530 mg more sodium than “Pork, cracklings.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Snacks, pork skins, plain
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 the exact wording “Pork skin rinds” fits. Inspect FDC 2705895 when “cracklings” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2705902 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Pork skin rinds” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Snacks, pork skins, plain is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.
100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2705902, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pork” 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 16.3 g more protein, 10.4 g less total fat, and 530 mg more sodium than “Pork, cracklings.”
Only the comparison record lists Pork, fresh, separable fat, cooked. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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.
Shared listed inputs: Snacks, pork skins, plain.
Listed only in the comparison: Pork, fresh, separable fat, cooked.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 30 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (30 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 90 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (90 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705902 with FDC 2705895 at equal mass; use their 30 g and 90 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705902 versus FDC 2705895 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 skin rinds,” 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 2705902 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 544 kcal per 100 g becomes 163 kcal at 30 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 cup 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: 2705902
FNDDS food code: 22709010
The scaling for FDC 2705902 can be exact while the match to “Pork skin rinds” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 30 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
