The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 209 calories for USDA reference amount at 182 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 115 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.2 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 564 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve, representing 40.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 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 209–279 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709085: “Spanish rice, fat added.” 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 2709085, 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 | 136.5 g | 157 kcal | 3.9 g | 1.5 g | 423 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 182 g | 209 kcal | 5.2 g | 2 g | 564 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 243 g | 279 kcal | 7 g | 2.7 g | 753 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 99 exact records in the Rice mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709085’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709085’s 182 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 C20 mg
≈ 23% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Iron2 mg
≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium564 mg
≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.9 g
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Spanish rice, fat added,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709086 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 136.5–227.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 157 kcal and 262 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.6 g more total fat than “Spanish rice, no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 10 input rows; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve supplies 40.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 more calories and 1.6 g more total fat than “Spanish rice, no added fat.”
Only this record lists Vegetable oil, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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.
Shared listed inputs: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched; Onions, raw; Peppers, bell, green, raw; Tomatoes, red, ripe, canned, packed in tomato juice; and 5 more.
Listed only in this record: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 182 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (243 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 182 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (243 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709085 with FDC 2709086 at equal mass; use their 182 g and 182 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709085 versus FDC 2709086 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
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 “Spanish rice, fat added,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
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.
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
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 2709085 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 115 kcal per 100 g becomes 209 kcal at 182 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
