Stew, pork calories: 278 per 1 cup (255 g)
This exact USDA record reports 278 calories for 1 cup (255 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 278 calories for 1 cup at 255 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 109 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.3 g protein, 3.3 g fiber, and 775 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is vegetables as ingredient in stews, representing 49.7% 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 2706519: “Stew, pork.” 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 2706519, 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 | 191.3 g | 208 kcal | 16 g | 2.5 g | 581 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 255 g | 278 kcal | 21.3 g | 3.3 g | 775 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 318.8 g | 347 kcal | 26.6 g | 4.1 g | 969 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706519’s 255 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Stew, pork,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706520 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 255 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 191.3–318.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 208 kcal and 347 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706520
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.5 g less carbohydrate than “Stew, pork, with pasta.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Vegetables as ingredient in stews
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Vegetables as ingredient in stews supplies 49.7% 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 “pork” fits. Inspect FDC 2706520 when “pork; with pasta” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
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: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Salt, table; Vegetables as ingredient in stews; Pork, fresh, shoulder, (Boston butt), blade (steaks), separable lean and fat, cooked, braised.
Listed only in the comparison: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706519 with FDC 2706520 at equal mass; use their 255 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706519 versus FDC 2706520 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, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.
For “Stew, pork,” 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
recipe and ingredient ratios
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
added cooking 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.
- 04
sauces and toppings
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 2706519 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 109 kcal per 100 g becomes 278 kcal at 255 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: 2706519
FNDDS food code: 27221150
The scaling for FDC 2706519 can be exact while the match to “Stew, pork” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 255 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
