The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 245 calories for 1 cup at 250 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 98 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10 g protein, 3 g fiber, and 615 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is ravioli, cheese with tomato sauce, frozen, not prepared, includes regular and light entrees, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 37–245 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 2708768: “Ravioli, cheese-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 2708768, 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 | 37 kcal | 1.5 g | 0.5 g | 93 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 187.5 g | 184 kcal | 7.5 g | 2.3 g | 461 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 245 kcal | 10 g | 3 g | 615 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708768’s 250 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 “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with tomato sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708769 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 37 kcal to 245 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708769
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.5 g more protein than “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with tomato sauce, canned.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Ravioli, cheese with tomato sauce, frozen, not prepared, includes regular and light entrees
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 “cheese-filled; with tomato sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2708769 when “cheese-filled; with tomato sauce; canned” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 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.
- 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 2708768 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 98 kcal per 100 g becomes 245 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: 2708768
FNDDS food code: 58131520
The scaling for FDC 2708768 can be exact while the match to “Ravioli, cheese-filled, with tomato sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 250 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
