The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 293 calories for 1 cup at 250 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 117 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 13 g protein, 3 g fiber, and 1,338 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tomato products, canned, sauce, representing 36.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 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 cup 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 44–293 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 2708774: “Ravioli, cheese and spinach filled, with tomato sauce.” 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 2708774, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 piece” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

Where 100 grams sits inside Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese

The comparison set contains 169 exact records in the Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2708774’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2708774’s 250 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A222.5 µg

≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Iron4 mg

≈ 23% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

≈ 58% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat3.6 g

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Ravioli, cheese and spinach filled, with tomato sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708772 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 piece to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 38 g and 250 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 44 kcal to 293 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708772

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g less total fat than “Ravioli, cheese and spinach-filled, no sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Tomato products, canned, sauce

    The source formulation has 10 input rows; Tomato products, canned, sauce supplies 36.5% 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 “cheese and spinach filled; with tomato sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2708772 when “cheese and spinach-filled; no sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708774, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese” 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.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 33 less calories, 1.4 g less protein, and 4 g less carbohydrate than “Ravioli, cheese and spinach-filled, no sauce.”

Only this record lists Tomato products, canned, sauce. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

4 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: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Salt, table; and 5 more.

Listed only in this record: Tomato products, canned, sauce.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 250 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 160 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (160 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708774 with FDC 2708772 at equal mass; use their 250 g and 160 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708774 versus FDC 2708772 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, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.

For “Ravioli, cheese and spinach filled, with tomato sauce,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    cooked-to-dry ratio

    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.

  3. 03

    sauce or mix-ins

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    added 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.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2708774 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 117 kcal per 100 g becomes 293 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 cup 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: 2708774

FNDDS food code: 58131610

The scaling for FDC 2708774 can be exact while the match to “Ravioli, cheese and spinach filled, with tomato sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 250 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
