The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 233 calories for USDA reference amount at 155 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 150 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 8.5 g protein, 6.4 g fiber, and 293 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt, representing 47.8% 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 233–311 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 2709030: “Rice, white, with lentils, 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 2709030, 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 | 116.3 g | 174 kcal | 6.4 g | 4.8 g | 220 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Rice, white, with lentils, fat added,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709031 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 155 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 116.3–193.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 174 kcal and 291 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709031
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.5 g more total fat than “Rice, white, with lentils, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt supplies 47.8% 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 lentils; fat added” fits. Inspect FDC 2709031 when “white; with lentils; no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 35 more calories and 4.5 g more total fat than “Rice, white, with lentils, 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, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Salt, table; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; and 3 more.
Listed only in this record: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 155 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (207 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 2709030 with FDC 2709031 at equal mass; use their 155 g and 148 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709030 versus FDC 2709031 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 lentils, 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 2709030 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 150 kcal per 100 g becomes 233 kcal at 155 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: 2709030
FNDDS food code: 58160805
The scaling for FDC 2709030 can be exact while the match to “Rice, white, with lentils, fat added” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 155 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
