Stew, vegetable calories: 120 per 1 cup (255 g)
This exact USDA record reports 120 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 120 calories for 1 cup at 255 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 47 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.6 g protein, 5.4 g fiber, and 755 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 79.4% 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 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 2710063: “Stew, vegetable.” 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 2710063, 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 | 90 kcal | 2.7 g | 4 g | 566 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 255 g | 120 kcal | 3.6 g | 5.4 g | 755 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 318.8 g | 150 kcal | 4.5 g | 6.7 g | 944 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2710063’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.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin A525.3 µg
≈ 58% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Stew, vegetable,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707430 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 90 kcal and 150 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707430
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.5 g less total fat than “Sambar, vegetable stew.” 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 3 input rows; Vegetables as ingredient in stews supplies 79.4% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 39 less calories, 2.9 g less protein, and 2.5 g less total fat than “Sambar, vegetable stew.”
Only this record lists Vegetables as ingredient in stews. Only the comparison record lists Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Green beans, cooked, as ingredient; Onions, cooked, as ingredient. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

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 portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Stew, vegetable,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion 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
raw versus cooked weight
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
cooking method
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.
- 04
added fat or sauce
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 2710063 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 47 kcal per 100 g becomes 120 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: 2710063
FNDDS food code: 75439010
The scaling for FDC 2710063 can be exact while the match to “Stew, vegetable” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 255 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
