The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 305 calories for 1 cup at 290 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 105 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.6 g protein, 4.9 g fiber, and 1,021 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 57.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. 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.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709127: “Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, 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 2709127, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 | 217.5 g | 228 kcal | 4.9 g | 3.7 g | 766 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 290 g | 305 kcal | 6.6 g | 4.9 g | 1,021 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 362.5 g | 381 kcal | 8.2 g | 6.2 g | 1,276 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709127’s 290 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
Magnesium81 mg
≈ 19% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber4.9 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, fat added,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709126 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 290 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 217.5–362.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 228 kcal and 381 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709126
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.4 g more total fat than “Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Rice, brown, long-grain, cooked (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program) supplies 57.1% 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 vegetables; soy-based sauce; fat added” fits. Inspect FDC 2709126 when “brown; with vegetables; soy-based sauce; no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2709127, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Fried rice and lo/chow mein” 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 11 more calories and 1.4 g more total fat than “Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, 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); Gravy, made with soy sauce; Vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 290 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (290 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 286 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (286 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709127 with FDC 2709126 at equal mass; use their 290 g and 286 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709127 versus FDC 2709126 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 vegetables, soy-based sauce, 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.
- 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 2709127 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 105 kcal per 100 g becomes 305 kcal at 290 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: 2709127
FNDDS food code: 58165480
The scaling for FDC 2709127 can be exact while the match to “Rice, brown, with vegetables, soy-based sauce, fat added” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 290 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
