Ravioli, cheese-filled, with cream sauce calories: 400 per 1 cup (250 g)
This exact USDA record reports 400 calories for 1 cup (250 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 400 calories for 1 cup at 250 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 160 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.2 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 1,188 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, nfs, representing 37% 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 61–400 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 2708771: “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with cream 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 2708771, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 pieceUSDA-listed household measure | 38 g | 61 kcal | 2.3 g | 0.2 g | 181 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 187.5 g | 300 kcal | 11.4 g | 0.9 g | 891 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708771’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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with cream sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708773 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 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 61 kcal to 400 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708773
At an equal 100 g, this record has 77 mg more sodium than “Ravioli, cheese and spinach-filled, with cream sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, NFS
The source formulation has 10 input rows; Milk, NFS supplies 37% 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-filled; with cream sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2708773 when “cheese and spinach-filled; with cream sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 15 more calories, 1.2 g more total fat, and 77 mg more sodium than “Ravioli, cheese and spinach-filled, with cream sauce.”
Only this record lists Margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, with salt. Only the comparison record lists Spinach, cooked, as ingredient; Margarine, stick. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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; Cheese, ricotta, whole milk; and 5 more.
Listed only in this record: Margarine, regular, 80% fat, composite, stick, with salt.

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-filled, with cream sauce,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2708771 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 160 kcal per 100 g becomes 400 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: 2708771
FNDDS food code: 58131535
The scaling for FDC 2708771 can be exact while the match to “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with cream sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 250 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
