The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 185 calories for 1 cake or patty at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 218 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 11.8 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 280 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is shrimp, steamed or boiled, representing 64.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 cake or patty 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 2706565: “Shrimp, cake or patty.” 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 2706565, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706565’s 85 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 “Shrimp, cake or patty,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706560 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 85 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 63.8–106.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 139 kcal and 232 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706560

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.6 g more carbohydrate than “Tuna cake or patty.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Shrimp, steamed or boiled

    The source formulation has 7 input rows; Shrimp, steamed or boiled supplies 64.9% 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 “cake or patty” fits. Inspect FDC 2706560 when the exact wording “Tuna cake or patty” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706565, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Seafood 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 2.6 g more carbohydrate than “Tuna cake or patty.”

Only this record lists Shrimp, steamed or boiled. Only the comparison record lists Fish, tuna, light, canned in water, drained solids. 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: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Salad dressing, mayonnaise, regular; Bread, crumbs, dry, grated, plain; and 2 more.

Listed only in this record: Shrimp, steamed or boiled.

Listed only in the comparison: Fish, tuna, light, canned in water, drained solids.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake or patty (85 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 120 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cake or patty (120 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706565 with FDC 2706560 at equal mass; use their 85 g and 120 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706565 versus FDC 2706560 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, cake or patty,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706565 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 218 kcal per 100 g becomes 185 kcal at 85 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 cake or patty 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: 2706565

FNDDS food code: 27250400

The scaling for FDC 2706565 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp, cake or patty” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
