The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 284 calories for 1 meal at 312 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 91 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 16.5 g protein, 4.7 g fiber, and 1,423 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt, representing 32.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 16 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 meal at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707120: “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal.” 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 2707120, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 | 234 g | 213 kcal | 12.4 g | 3.5 g | 1,067 mg |
| 1 meal (11 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 312 g | 284 kcal | 16.5 g | 4.7 g | 1,423 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 390 g | 355 kcal | 20.6 g | 5.9 g | 1,778 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707120’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707120’s 312 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 A402.5 µg
≈ 45% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C22 mg
≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium1,423 mg
≈ 62% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.5 g
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706553 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 312 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 234–390 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 213 kcal and 355 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706553
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.8 g less total fat than “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt
The source formulation has 16 input rows; Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt supplies 32.8% 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 “diet frozen meal” fits. Inspect FDC 2706553 when “no sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 55 less calories, 2 g less protein, and 3 g less carbohydrate than “Shrimp and noodles, no sauce.”
Only this record lists Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Beverages, Wine, non-alcoholic. Only the comparison record lists Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture); Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked; Vegetable oil, NFS; Beverages, water, tap, drinking. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
6 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: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, canned; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve; Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Beverages, Wine, non-alcoholic; and 11 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat (may contain additives to retain moisture); Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked; Vegetable oil, NFS; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 312 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (312 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 196 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (157 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707120 with FDC 2706553 at equal mass; use their 312 g and 196 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707120 versus FDC 2706553 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 portion size, species or cut, cooking method, breading, butter, or sauce.
For “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
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.
- 02
species or cut
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
cooking method
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.
- 04
breading, butter, or sauce
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 2707120 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 91 kcal per 100 g becomes 284 kcal at 312 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.” The separately listed 1 meal has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707120
FNDDS food code: 28154010
The scaling for FDC 2707120 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp and vegetables in sauce with noodles, diet frozen meal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 312 g weight, 16-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
