The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 230 calories for USDA reference amount at 202 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 114 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 16.8 g protein, 2.6 g fiber, and 683 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cabbage, green, raw, representing 27.9% 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 117–230 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 2706620: “Stuffed cabbage rolls with beef and rice.” 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 2706620, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cabbage roll” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Stuffed cabbage rolls with beef and rice,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706621 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 cabbage roll to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 103 g and 162 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 117 kcal to 185 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706621

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 11.9 g less total fat than “Stuffed grape leaves with beef and rice.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Cabbage, green, raw

    The source formulation has 11 input rows; Cabbage, green, raw supplies 27.9% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

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 “Stuffed cabbage rolls with beef and rice,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706620 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 114 kcal per 100 g becomes 230 kcal at 202 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: 2706620

FNDDS food code: 27315250

The scaling for FDC 2706620 can be exact while the match to “Stuffed cabbage rolls with beef and rice” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 202 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
