The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 227 calories for USDA reference amount at 166 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 137 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 17.3 g protein, 1.3 g fiber, and 553 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, ground, raw, representing 47.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 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 227–304 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 2706479: “Stewed, seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican 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 2706479, 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 |

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: Beef, ground, raw; Onions, raw; Peppers, bell, green, raw; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average; and 6 more.
Listed only in this record: Potatoes, flesh and skin, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 166 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (222 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 166 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (222 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706479 with FDC 2706393 at equal mass; use their 166 g and 166 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706479 versus FDC 2706393 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 “Stewed, seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican 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 2706479 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 137 kcal per 100 g becomes 227 kcal at 166 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: 2706479
FNDDS food code: 27211550
The scaling for FDC 2706479 can be exact while the match to “Stewed, seasoned, ground beef with potatoes, Mexican style” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 166 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
