The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 175 calories for USDA reference amount at 142 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 3.9 g protein, 2.8 g fiber, and 277 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, long-grain, cooked (includes foods for usda's food distribution program), representing 76.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 175–234 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 2709048: “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, fat added.” 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 2709048, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2709048’s 142 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.

Strength-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, fat added,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709047 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 142 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 106.5–177.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 131 kcal and 218 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2709047

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.8 g more total fat than “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program) supplies 76.9% 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; with peas and carrots; fat added” fits. Inspect FDC 2709047 when “brown; with peas and carrots; no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2709048 to 4 source inputs totaling 253.7 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, fat added” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

4 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program), Peas and carrots, frozen, cooked, no added fat, Vegetable oil, NFS. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

253.7 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2709048, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Rice mixed dishes” 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 14 more calories and 1.8 g more total fat than “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, no added fat.”

Only this 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, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program); Peas and carrots, frozen, cooked, no added fat; Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Vegetable oil, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 142 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (190 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (187 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709048 with FDC 2709047 at equal mass; use their 142 g and 140 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2709048 versus FDC 2709047 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, with peas and carrots, fat added,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2709048 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 123 kcal per 100 g becomes 175 kcal at 142 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: 2709048

FNDDS food code: 58161444

The scaling for FDC 2709048 can be exact while the match to “Rice, brown, with peas and carrots, fat added” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 142 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
