The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 117 calories for USDA reference amount at 60 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 195 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.1 g protein, 0.2 g fiber, and 388 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is yogurt, greek, plain, lowfat, representing 77.4% 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 reference amount and 1 tablespoon 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 29–137 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 2705446: “Ranch dip, yogurt based.” 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 2705446, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 tablespoon” through “1 individual container” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 tablespoonUSDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 29 kcal | 1.3 g | 0 g | 97 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 60 g | 117 kcal | 5.1 g | 0.2 g | 388 mg |
| 1 individual containerUSDA-listed household measure | 70 g | 137 kcal | 5.9 g | 0.2 g | 452 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705446’s 60 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Ranch dip, yogurt based,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705449 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 tablespoon to 1 individual container
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 70 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 29 kcal to 137 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705449
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.4 g more carbohydrate than “Vegetable dip, yogurt based.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Yogurt, Greek, plain, lowfat
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Yogurt, Greek, plain, lowfat supplies 77.4% 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 “yogurt based” fits. Inspect FDC 2705449 when “yogurt based” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only this record lists Milk, buttermilk, dried. Only the comparison record lists Onions, cooked, as ingredient. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular; Yogurt, Greek, plain, lowfat; Salt, table; Spices, parsley, dried.
Listed only in this record: Milk, buttermilk, dried.
Listed only in the comparison: Onions, cooked, as ingredient.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (15 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 60 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 tablespoon (15 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705446 with FDC 2705449 at equal mass; use their 60 g and 60 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705446 versus FDC 2705449 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 used, recipe or brand, concentration, oil, sugar, and salt formulation.
For “Ranch dip, yogurt based,” resolve amount used first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount used
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 or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
concentration
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 04
oil, sugar, and salt formulation
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 2705446 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 195 kcal per 100 g becomes 117 kcal at 60 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: 2705446
FNDDS food code: 11440040
The scaling for FDC 2705446 can be exact while the match to “Ranch dip, yogurt based” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 60 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
