The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 209 calories for USDA reference amount at 195 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 107 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 4.2 g protein, 2.1 g fiber, and 462 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 51.9% 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 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 209–278 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 2709115: “Rice, white, with vegetables and gravy, 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 2709115, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2709115’s 195 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.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A83.9 µg

≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Iron2 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Rice, white, with vegetables and gravy, fat added,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709114 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 195 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 146.3–243.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 156 kcal and 261 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2709114

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.5 g more total fat than “Rice, white, with vegetables and gravy, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked

    The source formulation has 5 input rows; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked supplies 51.9% 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 vegetables and gravy; fat added” fits. Inspect FDC 2709114 when “white; with vegetables and gravy; no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2709115, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Rice mixed dishes” 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 12 more calories and 1.5 g more total fat than “Rice, white, with vegetables and gravy, 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; Gravy, chicken, canned or bottled, ready-to-serve; 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 195 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 192 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (256 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709115 with FDC 2709114 at equal mass; use their 195 g and 192 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2709115 versus FDC 2709114 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 vegetables and gravy, 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2709115 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 107 kcal per 100 g becomes 209 kcal at 195 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: 2709115

FNDDS food code: 58165050

The scaling for FDC 2709115 can be exact while the match to “Rice, white, with vegetables and gravy, fat added” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 195 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
