The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 218 calories for USDA reference amount at 110 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 198 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 155 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, without salt, representing 43.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 large, raw, yields 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 4–218 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 2709458: “Potato, french fries, from fresh, fried.” 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 2709458, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 shoestring” through “1 large, raw, yields” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 shoestringUSDA-listed household measure | 2 g | 4 kcal | 0 g | 0 g | 3 mg |
| 1 fry, NS as to shapeUSDA-listed household measure | 5 g | 10 kcal | 0.1 g | 0.1 g | 7 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709458’s 110 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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 “Potato, french fries, from fresh, fried,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709459 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 shoestring to 1 large, raw, yields
USDA assigns those measures 2 g and 100 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 4 kcal to 198 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709459
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.9 g more total fat than “Potato, french fries, from fresh, baked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt supplies 43.3% 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 “french fries; from fresh; fried” fits. Inspect FDC 2709459 when “french fries; from fresh; baked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
- NS as to… means “not specified as to…” the detail that follows. It preserves an unknown distinction; it does not mean the ingredient or characteristic is absent.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2709458, the close-record rule searches the USDA “French fries and other fried white potatoes” 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.

2 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: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt; Salt, table; Vegetable oil, NFS.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large, raw, yields (100 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large, raw, yields (100 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709458 with FDC 2709459 at equal mass; use their 110 g and 110 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709458 versus FDC 2709459 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 of absorbed frying fat, portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method.
For “Potato, french fries, from fresh, fried,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount of absorbed frying 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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709458 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 198 kcal per 100 g becomes 218 kcal at 110 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: 2709458
FNDDS food code: 71401010
The scaling for FDC 2709458 can be exact while the match to “Potato, french fries, from fresh, fried” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 110 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
