Soup, bean, canned, reduced sodium calories: 120 per 1 cup (255 g)
This exact USDA record reports 120 calories for 1 cup (255 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 120 calories for 1 cup at 255 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 47 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.2 g protein, 6.9 g fiber, and 477 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 49.5% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 120–247 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 2707456: “Soup, bean, canned, reduced sodium.” 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 2707456, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 can” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 255 g | 120 kcal | 6.2 g | 6.9 g | 477 mg |
| 1 individual containerUSDA-listed household measure | 440 g | 207 kcal | 10.8 g | 11.9 g | 823 mg |
| 1 canUSDA-listed household measure | 525 g | 247 kcal | 12.9 g | 14.2 g | 982 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707456’s 255 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Soup, bean, canned, reduced sodium,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707454 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 can
USDA assigns those measures 255 g and 525 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 120 kcal to 247 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707454
At an equal 100 g, this record has 77 mg less sodium than “Soup, bean, canned.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 49.5% 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 “bean; canned; reduced sodium” fits. Inspect FDC 2707454 when “bean; canned” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2707456, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Soups, broth-based” 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.

1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Beans, black, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Mirepoix, cooked, as ingredient; Vegetable oil, NFS; and 1 more.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 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 2707456 with FDC 2707454 at equal mass; use their 255 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707456 versus FDC 2707454 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 bowl size, solid-to-broth ratio, recipe, added cream, oil, or toppings.
For “Soup, bean, canned, reduced sodium,” resolve bowl size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
bowl size
Resolve bowl size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 02
solid-to-broth ratio
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
- 03
recipe
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 04
added cream, oil, or toppings
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 2707456 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 47 kcal per 100 g becomes 120 kcal at 255 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 cup 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: 2707456
FNDDS food code: 41601160
The scaling for FDC 2707456 can be exact while the match to “Soup, bean, canned, reduced sodium” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 255 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
