The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 284 calories for USDA reference amount at 127 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 224 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5 g protein, 0.9 g fiber, and 831 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 45.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 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 284–381 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 2708976: “Stewed rice, 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 2708976, 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 | 95.3 g | 213 kcal | 3.8 g | 0.7 g | 623 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 127 g | 284 kcal | 5 g | 0.9 g | 831 mg |

02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Rice mixed dishes
The comparison set contains 99 exact records in the Rice mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2708976’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708976’s 127 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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 “Stewed rice, Puerto Rican style,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708980 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 127 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 95.3–158.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 213 kcal and 356 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708980
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.6 g more total fat than “Rice with stewed beans, 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 9 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 45.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

5 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: Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Listed only in this record: Pork, cured, salt pork, raw; Pork, cured, ham, center slice, country-style, separable lean only, raw; Tomato products, canned, sauce; Olives, pickled, canned or bottled, green; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Beans, white, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 127 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (170 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 141 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (188 g).

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, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Stewed rice, 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
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
added 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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708976 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 224 kcal per 100 g becomes 284 kcal at 127 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: 2708976
FNDDS food code: 58155810
The scaling for FDC 2708976 can be exact while the match to “Stewed rice, Puerto Rican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 127 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
