The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 191 calories for USDA reference amount at 64 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 298 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 12.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 401 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cheese, queso fresco, solid, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 51–381 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 2705755: “Puerto Rican white 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 2705755, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 cup” 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 | 17 g | 51 kcal | 3.2 g | 0 g | 106 mg |
| 1 sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 28 g | 83 kcal | 5.3 g | 0 g | 175 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705755’s 64 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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 “Puerto Rican white cheese,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705753 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 17 g and 128 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 51 kcal to 381 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705753
At an equal 100 g, this record has 23.1 g more total fat than “Cheese, cottage, dry curd.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Cheese, queso fresco, solid
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 “Puerto Rican white cheese” fits. Inspect FDC 2705753 when “cottage; dry curd” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2705755 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Puerto Rican white cheese” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Cheese, queso fresco, solid 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.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 226 more calories, 8.6 g more protein, and 3.7 g less carbohydrate than “Cheese, cottage, dry curd.”
Only this record lists Cheese, queso fresco, solid. Only the comparison record lists Cheese, cottage, nonfat, uncreamed, dry, large or small curd. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 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.
Listed only in this record: Cheese, queso fresco, solid.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese, cottage, nonfat, uncreamed, dry, large or small curd.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 64 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (128 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 105 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, dry type (145 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705755 with FDC 2705753 at equal mass; use their 64 g and 105 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705755 versus FDC 2705753 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, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.
For “Puerto Rican white 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
fat level
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
brand or formulation
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added flavors or sweeteners
Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2705755 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 298 kcal per 100 g becomes 191 kcal at 64 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: 2705755
FNDDS food code: 14203510
The scaling for FDC 2705755 can be exact while the match to “Puerto Rican white cheese” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 64 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
