Pot pie, beef calories: 678 per 1 individual pie (250 g)
This exact USDA record reports 678 calories for 1 individual pie (250 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 678 calories for 1 individual pie at 250 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 271 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 22.3 g protein, 5 g fiber, and 935 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked, representing 34.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 individual pie 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 27–3,415 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 2706630: “Pot pie, beef.” 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 2706630, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 pie, any size” 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 | 10 g | 27 kcal | 0.9 g | 0.2 g | 37 mg |
| 1 individual pieUSDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 678 kcal | 22.3 g | 5 g | 935 mg |
| 1 pie, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 1,260 g | 3,415 kcal | 112.4 g | 25.2 g | 4,712 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706630’s 250 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pot pie, beef,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706372 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 pie, any size
USDA assigns those measures 10 g and 1,260 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 27 kcal to 3,415 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706372
At an equal 100 g, this record has 21.5 g more carbohydrate than “Guisada, beef.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked supplies 34.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 156 more calories, 1.9 g less protein, and 21.5 g more carbohydrate than “Guisada, beef.”
Only this record lists Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked; Carrots, cooked, as ingredient; Peas, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; White sauce or gravy. Only the comparison record lists Vegetables as ingredient in stews. 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.
Shared listed inputs: Beef as ingredient in recipes; Salt, table; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Listed only in this record: Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked; Carrots, cooked, as ingredient; Peas, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; White sauce or gravy.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetables as ingredient in stews.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 250 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 individual pie (250 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 2706630 with FDC 2706372 at equal mass; use their 250 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706630 versus FDC 2706372 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 “Pot pie, beef,” 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 2706630 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 271 kcal per 100 g becomes 678 kcal at 250 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 individual pie 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: 2706630
FNDDS food code: 27317010
The scaling for FDC 2706630 can be exact while the match to “Pot pie, beef” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 250 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
