The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 54 calories for USDA reference amount at 110 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 49 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3 g protein, 2.5 g fiber, and 344 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is spinach, canned, regular pack, drained solids, representing 97.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 54–108 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 2709626: “Spinach, canned, cooked with oil.” 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 2709626, 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 | 82.5 g | 40 kcal | 2.3 g | 1.9 g | 258 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 110 g | 54 kcal | 3 g | 2.5 g | 344 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 220 g | 108 kcal | 6 g | 5.1 g | 689 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 10 exact records in the Spinach USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709626’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709626’s 110 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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 A523.6 µg
≈ 58% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium81 mg
≈ 19% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium344 mg
≈ 15% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.5 g
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Spinach, canned, cooked with oil,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709618 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 82.5–137.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 40 kcal and 67 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14 kcal less calories than “Spinach, fresh, cooked with oil.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Spinach, canned, regular pack, drained solids supplies 97.1% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “canned; cooked with oil” fits. Inspect FDC 2709618 when “fresh; cooked with oil” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories, 0.5 g more dietary fiber, and 59 mg more sodium than “Spinach, fresh, cooked with oil.”
Only this record lists Spinach, canned, regular pack, drained solids. Only the comparison record lists Spinach, mature; Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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: Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in this record: Spinach, canned, regular pack, drained solids.
Listed only in the comparison: Spinach, mature; Salt, table.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (220 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 93 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (185 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709626 with FDC 2709618 at equal mass; use their 110 g and 93 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709626 versus FDC 2709618 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 portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Spinach, canned, cooked with oil,” resolve portion size 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.
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
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 2709626 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 49 kcal per 100 g becomes 54 kcal at 110 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: 2709626
FNDDS food code: 72125227
The scaling for FDC 2709626 can be exact while the match to “Spinach, canned, cooked with oil” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 110 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
