The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 126 calories for USDA reference amount at 129 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 98 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.7 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 258 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked, representing 70.2% 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 126–169 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 2709015: “Rice, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, 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 2709015, 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 | 96.8 g | 95 kcal | 2.1 g | 1 g | 194 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2709015’s 129 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Rice, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709016 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 129 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 96.8–161.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 95 kcal and 158 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709016
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2 g less total fat than “Rice, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked supplies 70.2% 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 “white; with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2709016 when “white; with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 16 less calories and 2 g less total fat than “Rice, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, fat added.”
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, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Carrots, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Tomatoes, red, ripe, canned, packed in tomato juice; Salt, table.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 129 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (172 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 129 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (172 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709015 with FDC 2709016 at equal mass; use their 129 g and 129 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709015 versus FDC 2709016 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, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, 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 2709015 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 98 kcal per 100 g becomes 126 kcal at 129 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: 2709015
FNDDS food code: 58160590
The scaling for FDC 2709015 can be exact while the match to “Rice, white, with carrots and tomatoes and/or tomato-based sauce, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 129 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
