The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 188 calories for USDA reference amount at 138 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 136 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.8 g protein, 0.7 g fiber, and 667 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, drinking, representing 53.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 13 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 serving 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 188–280 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 2706518: “Stewed pig's feet, Puerto Rican style.” 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 2706518, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “USDA reference amount” through “1 serving (2 pig's feet, 3" x 2", two slices Spanish sausage, 1" x 1/4", 1/2 cup sauce) (yield after bone removed)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 138 g | 188 kcal | 13.8 g | 0.7 g | 667 mg |
| 1 cup (yield after bone removed)USDA-listed household measure | 184 g | 250 kcal | 18.4 g | 0.9 g | 889 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706518’s 138 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 A81.4 µg
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C8 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Stewed pig's feet, Puerto Rican style,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706725 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup (yield after bone removed) to 1 serving (2 pig's feet, 3" x 2", two slices Spanish sausage, 1" x 1/4", 1/2 cup sauce) (yield after bone removed)
USDA assigns those measures 184 g and 206 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 250 kcal to 280 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706725
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g less dietary fiber than “Stewed tripe, with potatoes, Puerto Rican style.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 13 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 53.3% 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 “Puerto Rican style” fits. Inspect FDC 2706725 when “with potatoes; Puerto Rican style” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 27 more calories, 1.4 g more protein, and 5.4 g less carbohydrate than “Stewed tripe, with potatoes, Puerto Rican style.”
Only this record lists Pork, fresh, variety meats and by-products, feet, cooked, simmered; Chorizo; Vegetable oil, NFS; Spices, oregano, dried. Only the comparison record lists Beef, variety meats and by-products, tripe, raw; Oil, corn; Peppers, bell, red, raw; Chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, raw. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
6 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; Pork, cured, ham, center slice, country-style, separable lean only, raw; Potatoes, flesh and skin, raw; and 4 more.
Listed only in this record: Pork, fresh, variety meats and by-products, feet, cooked, simmered; Chorizo; Vegetable oil, NFS; Spices, oregano, dried; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Beef, variety meats and by-products, tripe, raw; Oil, corn; Peppers, bell, red, raw; Chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram), mature seeds, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 138 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 serving (206 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 210 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (280 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706518 with FDC 2706725 at equal mass; use their 138 g and 210 g source amounts only for portion matching.

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 “Stewed pig's feet, Puerto Rican style,” 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 2706518 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 136 kcal per 100 g becomes 188 kcal at 138 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: 2706518
FNDDS food code: 27221100
The scaling for FDC 2706518 can be exact while the match to “Stewed pig's feet, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 138 g weight, 13-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
