The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 181 calories for USDA reference amount at 147 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 123 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.6 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 295 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rice, brown, cooked, as ingredient, representing 99.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup, cooked 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 181–240 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 2708414: “Rice, brown, cooked, no added fat.” 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 2708414, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup, cooked” 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 | 110.3 g | 136 kcal | 2.7 g | 1.1 g | 222 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 147 g | 181 kcal | 3.6 g | 1.5 g | 295 mg |
| 1 cup, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 195 g | 240 kcal | 4.7 g | 2 g | 392 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708414’s 147 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Rice, brown, cooked, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708410 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 147 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 110.3–183.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 136 kcal and 226 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708410
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.3 g less total fat than “Rice, brown, cooked, fat added, made with oil.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Rice, brown, cooked, as ingredient
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Rice, brown, cooked, as ingredient supplies 99.5% 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 “brown; cooked; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2708410 when “brown; cooked; fat added; made with oil” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 18 less calories and 2.3 g less total fat than “Rice, brown, cooked, fat added, made with oil.”
Only the comparison record lists Vegetable oil, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Rice, brown, cooked, as ingredient; Salt, table.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 147 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, cooked (195 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 147 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, cooked (196 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708414 with FDC 2708410 at equal mass; use their 147 g and 147 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708414 versus FDC 2708410 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 “Rice, brown, cooked, no added fat,” 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 2708414 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 123 kcal per 100 g becomes 181 kcal at 147 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: 2708414
FNDDS food code: 56205018
The scaling for FDC 2708414 can be exact while the match to “Rice, brown, cooked, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 147 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
