The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 124 calories for USDA reference amount at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 99 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.4 g protein, 3 g fiber, and 165 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, cooked, as ingredient, representing 77.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 124–248 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 2709708: “Sweet potato, casserole or mashed.” 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 2709708, 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 | 93.8 g | 93 kcal | 1.8 g | 2.3 g | 124 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 125 g | 124 kcal | 2.4 g | 3 g | 165 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Sweet potato, casserole or mashed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709704 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 125 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 93.8–156.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 93 kcal and 155 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709704
At an equal 100 g, this record has 20.5 g less carbohydrate than “Sweet potato, candied.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Sweet potato, cooked, as ingredient
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Sweet potato, cooked, as ingredient supplies 77.9% 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 “casserole or mashed” fits. Inspect FDC 2709704 when “candied” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 88 less calories and 20.5 g less carbohydrate than “Sweet potato, candied.”
Only this record lists Cream, fluid, half and half. 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, cooked, as ingredient; Sugars, granulated; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Cream, fluid, half and half.
Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 piece (45 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709708 with FDC 2709704 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 100 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709708 versus FDC 2709704 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 portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Sweet potato, casserole or mashed,” 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 2709708 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 99 kcal per 100 g becomes 124 kcal at 125 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: 2709708
FNDDS food code: 73409000
The scaling for FDC 2709708 can be exact while the match to “Sweet potato, casserole or mashed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
