The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 482 calories for 1 medium at 315 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 153 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 12.9 g protein, 5.4 g fiber, and 709 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt, representing 79.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 medium 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 245–681 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 2709527: “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with cheese.” 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 2709527, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 245 kcal | 6.5 g | 2.7 g | 360 mg |
| 1 mediumUSDA-listed household measure | 315 g | 482 kcal | 12.9 g | 5.4 g | 709 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with cheese,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709520 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 160 g and 445 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 245 kcal to 681 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709520
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.5 g more dietary fiber than “Potato, baked, peel not eaten, with cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt supplies 79.3% 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 “baked; peel eaten; with cheese” fits. Inspect FDC 2709520 when “baked; peel not eaten; with cheese” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Salt, table; Butter, stick, salted; Cream, sour, full fat; Cheese, cheddar.
Listed only in this record: Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt.
Listed only in the comparison: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 315 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (315 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 315 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (315 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709527 with FDC 2709520 at equal mass; use their 315 g and 315 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709527 versus FDC 2709520 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with cheese,” 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
raw versus cooked weight
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 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
added fat or sauce
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709527 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 153 kcal per 100 g becomes 482 kcal at 315 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 medium 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: 2709527
FNDDS food code: 71508020
The scaling for FDC 2709527 can be exact while the match to “Potato, baked, peel eaten, with cheese” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 315 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
