The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 230 calories for USDA reference amount at 130 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 177 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 8.7 g protein, 10.1 g fiber, and 523 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is restaurant, mexican, refried beans, representing 97% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. 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 230–460 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 2707397: “Refried beans, from fast food / restaurant.” 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 2707397, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 97.5 g | 173 kcal | 6.5 g | 7.6 g | 392 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 130 g | 230 kcal | 8.7 g | 10.1 g | 523 mg |

02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Beans, peas, legumes
The comparison set contains 60 exact records in the Beans, peas, legumes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707397’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Refried beans, from fast food / restaurant,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707365 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 130 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 97.5–162.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 173 kcal and 288 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707365
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.1 g less carbohydrate than “Black beans, from fast food / restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Restaurant, Mexican, refried beans
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Restaurant, Mexican, refried beans supplies 97% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

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 restaurant formulation and serving size, portion size, preparation, added fat.
For “Refried beans, from fast food / restaurant,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving 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
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.
- 03
preparation
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 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 2707397 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 177 kcal per 100 g becomes 230 kcal at 130 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: 2707397
FNDDS food code: 41205017
The scaling for FDC 2707397 can be exact while the match to “Refried beans, from fast food / restaurant” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 130 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
