The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 456 calories for 1 cup at 244 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 187 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 23.9 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 637 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pork, steak, coated, representing 35.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 16 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 2706655: “Sweet and sour pork with 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 2706655, 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 | 183 g | 342 kcal | 18 g | 1.1 g | 478 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 244 g | 456 kcal | 23.9 g | 1.5 g | 637 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 305 g | 570 kcal | 29.9 g | 1.8 g | 796 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706655’s 244 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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 “Sweet and sour pork with rice,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706401 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 244 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 183–305 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 342 kcal and 570 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706401
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9 g less carbohydrate than “Sweet and sour pork.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pork, steak, coated
The source formulation has 16 input rows; Pork, steak, coated supplies 35.1% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2706655, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Stir-fry and soy-based sauce mixtures” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 73 less calories, 9 g less carbohydrate, and 4.8 g less total fat than “Sweet and sour pork.”
Only this record lists Pork, steak, coated; Vegetable oil, NFS; Garlic, raw; Pineapple, raw. Only the comparison record lists Restaurant, Chinese, sweet and sour pork. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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.
Listed only in this record: Pork, steak, coated; Vegetable oil, NFS; Garlic, raw; Pineapple, raw; and 12 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Restaurant, Chinese, sweet and sour pork.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 244 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (226 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706655 with FDC 2706401 at equal mass; use their 244 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706655 versus FDC 2706401 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 “Sweet and sour pork with rice,” 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 2706655 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 187 kcal per 100 g becomes 456 kcal at 244 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: 2706655
FNDDS food code: 27320500
The scaling for FDC 2706655 can be exact while the match to “Sweet and sour pork with rice” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 244 g weight, 16-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
