The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 286 calories for USDA reference amount at 196 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 146 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 14.3 g protein, 1.6 g fiber, and 282 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is noodles, egg, enriched, cooked, representing 60.9% 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 229–286 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706553: “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce.” 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
For FDC 2706553, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “USDA reference amount” 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 | 147 g | 215 kcal | 10.7 g | 1.2 g | 212 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 157 g | 229 kcal | 11.5 g | 1.3 g | 226 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 196 g | 286 kcal | 14.3 g | 1.6 g | 282 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706553’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706553’s 196 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.
Iron2 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium41 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium282 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.7 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706558 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 147–245 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 215 kcal and 358 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3 g more carbohydrate than “Shrimp and noodles with cheese sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked supplies 60.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 10 more calories and 3 g more carbohydrate than “Shrimp and noodles with cheese sauce.”
Only this record lists Vegetable oil, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Cheese sauce, prepared from recipe. 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 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: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture); Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked; Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese sauce, prepared from recipe.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 196 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (157 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 280 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (224 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706553 with FDC 2706558 at equal mass; use their 196 g and 280 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706553 versus FDC 2706558 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
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.
For “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
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
FDC 2706553 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 146 kcal per 100 g becomes 286 kcal at 196 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: 2706553
FNDDS food code: 27250120
The scaling for FDC 2706553 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 196 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
