The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 298 calories for USDA reference amount at 106 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 281 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 12.3 g protein, 0.2 g fiber, and 505 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture), representing 65.2% 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 298–596 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 2706465: “Shrimp in garlic sauce, Puerto Rican style.” 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 2706465, 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 | 79.5 g | 223 kcal | 9.2 g | 0.2 g | 378 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 106 g | 298 kcal | 12.3 g | 0.2 g | 505 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 212 g | 596 kcal | 24.6 g | 0.4 g | 1,009 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 94 exact records in the Seafood mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706465’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706465’s 106 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.
Vitamin A171.7 µg
≈ 19% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C13 mg
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat4.6 g
≈ 23% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium505 mg
≈ 22% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Shrimp in garlic sauce, Puerto Rican style,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706869 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 79.5–132.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 223 kcal and 372 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g less dietary fiber than “Lobster with sauce, Puerto Rican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Crustaceans, shrimp, mixed species, raw (may contain additives to retain moisture) supplies 65.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

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 in garlic sauce, Puerto Rican style,” 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 2706465 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 281 kcal per 100 g becomes 298 kcal at 106 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: 2706465
FNDDS food code: 27151050
The scaling for FDC 2706465 can be exact while the match to “Shrimp in garlic sauce, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 106 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
