The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 74 calories for 1 cup at 245 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 30 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 20 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tangerines, (mandarin oranges), canned, juice pack, representing 20% 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.
Record-specific decision brief
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709311: “Soup, fruit.” 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 2709311, 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 | 183.8 g | 55 kcal | 1 g | 1.5 g | 15 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 74 kcal | 1.3 g | 2 g | 20 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 306.3 g | 92 kcal | 1.7 g | 2.5 g | 25 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 45 exact records in the Soups, broth-based USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2709311’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709311’s 245 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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.
Vitamin C48 mg
≈ 53% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin A149.5 µg
≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium20 mg
≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0 g
≈ 0% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Soup, fruit,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707453 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 183.8–306.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 55 kcal and 92 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 236 mg less sodium than “Soup, bean.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Tangerines, (mandarin oranges), canned, juice pack supplies 20% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “fruit” fits. Inspect FDC 2707453 when “bean” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 37 less calories, 3.2 g less protein, and 4.6 g less carbohydrate than “Soup, bean.”
Only this record lists Tangerines, (mandarin oranges), canned, juice pack; Watermelon, raw; Berries, NFS; Melons, cantaloupe, raw. Only the comparison record lists Beans, black, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Mirepoix, cooked, as ingredient; Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
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.

These 1 guide place “Soup, fruit” beside explicitly linked source records; use them to compare preparations without turning FDC 2709311 into a universal recipe.
Uncertainty, made actionable
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, fruit,” resolve bowl size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
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.
Estimate what was actually consumed, including liquid left behind. The same bowl volume can contain a different mass and solid-to-liquid balance.
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 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 2709311 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 30 kcal per 100 g becomes 74 kcal at 245 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: 2709311
FNDDS food code: 63415100
The scaling for FDC 2709311 can be exact while the match to “Soup, fruit” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 245 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
