The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 266 calories for USDA reference amount at 190 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 140 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 23 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 562 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, ground, representing 44.9% 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 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 266–350 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 2706378: “Sloppy joe, no bun.” 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 2706378, 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 | 142.5 g | 200 kcal | 17.2 g | 1 g | 422 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Sloppy joe, no bun,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706377 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 190 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 142.5–237.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 200 kcal and 333 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706377
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.1 g more carbohydrate than “Chili with meat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, ground
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Beef, ground supplies 44.9% 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 “no bun” fits. Inspect FDC 2706377 when the exact wording “Chili with meat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added; Sugars, granulated; Onions, cooked, as ingredient; Green pepper, cooked, as ingredient; and 2 more.
Listed only in this record: Beef, ground.
Listed only in the comparison: Spices, chili powder; Beef as ingredient in recipes.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 190 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706378 with FDC 2706377 at equal mass; use their 190 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706378 versus FDC 2706377 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, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Sloppy joe, no bun,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 02
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
added cooking 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.
- 04
sauces and toppings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706378 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 140 kcal per 100 g becomes 266 kcal at 190 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: 2706378
FNDDS food code: 27111500
The scaling for FDC 2706378 can be exact while the match to “Sloppy joe, no bun” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 190 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
