The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 58 calories for USDA reference amount at 18 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 323 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1.1 g protein, 0.1 g fiber, and 57 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is flour, rice, white, unenriched, representing 85% 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 large paper 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 16–65 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 2708166: “Rice paper.” 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 2708166, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 small paper (6-3/8" dia)” through “1 large paper (12-3/8" dia)” 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 2708166’s 18 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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

No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium57 mg

≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0.1 g

≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Rice paper,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708164 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 small paper (6-3/8" dia) to 1 large paper (12-3/8" dia)

    USDA assigns those measures 5 g and 20 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 16 kcal to 65 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708164

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.7 g less total fat than “Crackers, rice and nuts.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Flour, rice, white, unenriched

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Flour, rice, white, unenriched supplies 85% 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 paper” fits. Inspect FDC 2708164 when “rice and nuts” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.

For “Rice paper,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    piece or 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.

  2. 02

    recipe or brand

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    fillings or frosting

    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 fats and sugars

    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 2708166 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 323 kcal per 100 g becomes 58 kcal at 18 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: 2708166

FNDDS food code: 54319500

The scaling for FDC 2708166 can be exact while the match to “Rice paper” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 18 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
