The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 337 calories for USDA reference amount at 182 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 185 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 961 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is restaurant, mexican, spanish rice, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 337–450 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 2709084: “Spanish rice, from restaurant.” 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 2709084, 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 | 253 kcal | 4.5 g | 1.6 g | 721 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Spanish rice, from restaurant,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709085 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 182 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 136.5–227.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 253 kcal and 421 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709085
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.7 g more total fat than “Spanish rice, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Restaurant, Mexican, spanish rice
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “from restaurant” fits. Inspect FDC 2709085 when “fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 restaurant formulation and serving size, amount served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins.
For “Spanish rice, from restaurant,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving size
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
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2709084 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 185 kcal per 100 g becomes 337 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
FoodData Central ID: 2709084
FNDDS food code: 58163405
The scaling for FDC 2709084 can be exact while the match to “Spanish rice, from restaurant” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 182 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
