The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 91 calories for 1 cup at 245 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 37 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.1 g protein, 0.5 g fiber, and 794 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, broth, representing 75% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2710110: “Soup, seaweed.” 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 2710110, 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 | 68 kcal | 6.9 g | 0.4 g | 595 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 91 kcal | 9.1 g | 0.5 g | 794 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 306.3 g | 113 kcal | 11.4 g | 0.6 g | 992 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2710110’s 245 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.
Strength-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Soup, seaweed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709160 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 245 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 183.8–306.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 68 kcal and 113 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709160
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.3 g more protein than “Soup, wonton.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soup, broth
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Soup, broth supplies 75% 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 “seaweed” fits. Inspect FDC 2709160 when “wonton” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 1.3 g more protein than “Soup, wonton.”
Only this record lists Beef as ingredient in recipes; Seaweed, raw; Onions, cooked, as ingredient. Only the comparison record lists Wonton, dumpling or pot sticker, steamed. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a 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

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, seaweed,” 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 2710110 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 37 kcal per 100 g becomes 91 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: 2710110
FNDDS food code: 75647000
The scaling for FDC 2710110 can be exact while the match to “Soup, seaweed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 245 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
