The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 91 calories for USDA reference amount at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 91 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.6 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 207 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is sweet potato, canned, vacuum pack, representing 99.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup, pieces 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 91–228 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 2709706: “Sweet potato, canned, no added fat.” 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 2709706, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup, pieces” 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 | 75 g | 68 kcal | 1.2 g | 1.4 g | 155 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 100 g | 91 kcal | 1.6 g | 1.8 g | 207 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Sweet potato, canned, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709707 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 100 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 75–125 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 68 kcal and 114 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709707
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.2 g less total fat than “Sweet potato, canned, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Sweet potato, canned, vacuum pack
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Sweet potato, canned, vacuum pack supplies 99.6% 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 “canned; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2709707 when “canned; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 33 less calories and 4.2 g less total fat than “Sweet potato, canned, fat added.”
Only the comparison record lists Oil or table fat, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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: Sweet potato, canned, vacuum pack; Salt, table.
Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, pieces (250 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 portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Sweet potato, canned, no added fat,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
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
raw versus cooked weight
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
cooking method
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
- 04
added fat or sauce
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 2709706 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 91 kcal per 100 g becomes 91 kcal at 100 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: 2709706
FNDDS food code: 73407050
The scaling for FDC 2709706 can be exact while the match to “Sweet potato, canned, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
