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 130 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 90 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.5 g protein, 4.8 g fiber, and 481 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is refried beans, canned, traditional style, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 117–234 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 2707396: “Refried beans.” 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 2707396, 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 | 88 kcal | 4.9 g | 3.6 g | 361 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 130 g | 117 kcal | 6.5 g | 4.8 g | 481 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 260 g | 234 kcal | 12.9 g | 9.6 g | 962 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707396’s 130 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Refried beans,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707398 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 88 kcal and 146 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707398
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.8 g less protein than “Refried beans with meat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Refried beans, canned, traditional style
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

Inside the source record
Source formulation behind this USDA record
USDA links FDC 2707396 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Refried beans” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
A single-source formulation
Refried beans, canned, traditional style is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2707396, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Beans, peas, legumes” 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 2.8 g less protein than “Refried beans with meat.”
Only this record lists Refried beans, canned, traditional style. Only the comparison record lists Refried beans; Ham, for use with vegetables; Beef, for use with vegetables. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears 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.

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 portion size, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.
For “Refried beans,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
sauce or seasoning
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707396 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 90 kcal per 100 g becomes 117 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: 2707396
FNDDS food code: 41205010
The scaling for FDC 2707396 can be exact while the match to “Refried beans” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 130 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
