The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 49 calories for USDA reference amount at 65 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 75 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 4.1 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 267 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve, representing 81.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 49–195 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 2706422: “Spaghetti sauce with poultry.” 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 2706422, 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 | 48.8 g | 37 kcal | 3.1 g | 0.7 g | 200 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 65 g | 49 kcal | 4.1 g | 1 g | 267 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 260 g | 195 kcal | 16.4 g | 3.9 g | 1,066 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Pasta sauces, tomato-based USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706422’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706422’s 65 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium267 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.3 g
≈ 2% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Spaghetti sauce with poultry,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706423 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 65 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 48.8–81.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 37 kcal and 61 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706423
At an equal 100 g, this record has 79 mg more sodium than “Spaghetti sauce with poultry and added vegetables.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve supplies 81.3% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Shared listed inputs: Turkey, ground; Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only.
Listed only in this record: Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve.
Listed only in the comparison: Spaghetti sauce with added vegetables.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 65 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 65 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (260 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706422 with FDC 2706423 at equal mass; use their 65 g and 65 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706422 versus FDC 2706423 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, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Spaghetti sauce with poultry,” 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
cooked-to-dry ratio
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 03
sauce or mix-ins
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added 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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706422 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 75 kcal per 100 g becomes 49 kcal at 65 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: 2706422
FNDDS food code: 27141030
The scaling for FDC 2706422 can be exact while the match to “Spaghetti sauce with poultry” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 65 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
