Rice dressing calories: 138 per 125 g
This exact USDA record reports 138 calories for 125 g. That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 138 calories for USDA reference amount at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 110 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.5 g protein, 0.8 g fiber, and 750 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, municipal, representing 60.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 138–184 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 2709089: “Rice dressing.” 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 2709089, 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 | 93.8 g | 103 kcal | 1.9 g | 0.6 g | 563 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 125 g | 138 kcal | 2.5 g | 0.8 g | 750 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 167 g | 184 kcal | 3.3 g | 1 g | 1,002 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709089’s 125 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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 “Rice dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709078 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 125 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 93.8–156.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 103 kcal and 172 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709078
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.1 g less protein than “Dirty rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, municipal
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, municipal supplies 60.7% 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 the exact wording “Rice dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2709078 when the exact wording “Dirty rice” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 3.1 g less protein, 1 g more total fat, and 284 mg more sodium than “Dirty rice.”
Only this record lists Celery, raw; Margarine, stick; Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Soup, beef broth or bouillon, powder, dry. Only the comparison record lists Vegetable oil, NFS; Chicken, broilers or fryers, giblets, cooked, simmered; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Garlic, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Onions, raw; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Celery, raw; Margarine, stick; Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Soup, beef broth or bouillon, powder, dry; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetable oil, NFS; Chicken, broilers or fryers, giblets, cooked, simmered; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Garlic, raw; and 3 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (167 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 148 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (198 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709089 with FDC 2709078 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 148 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709089 versus FDC 2709078 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 dressing,” 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 2709089 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 110 kcal per 100 g becomes 138 kcal at 125 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: 2709089
FNDDS food code: 58163510
The scaling for FDC 2709089 can be exact while the match to “Rice dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
