The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 292 calories for USDA reference amount at 162 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 180 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.6 g protein, 6.5 g fiber, and 1,116 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared, representing 68% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup, with gravy 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 166–664 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 2707474: “Swiss steak, with gravy, meatless.” 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 2707474, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 steak with gravy” through “1 can (13 oz)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 steak with gravyUSDA-listed household measure | 92 g | 166 kcal | 11.7 g | 3.7 g | 634 mg |
| 1 cup, with gravyUSDA-listed household measure | 216 g | 389 kcal | 27.4 g | 8.6 g | 1,488 mg |
| 1 can (13 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 369 g | 664 kcal | 46.9 g | 14.8 g | 2,542 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707474’s 162 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. 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 “Swiss steak, with gravy, meatless,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707409 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 steak with gravy to 1 can (13 oz)
USDA assigns those measures 92 g and 369 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 166 kcal to 664 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707409
At an equal 100 g, this record has 503 mg more sodium than “Bean cake.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared supplies 68% 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 “with gravy; meatless” fits. Inspect FDC 2707409 when the exact wording “Bean cake” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, preparation, added fat, sauce or seasoning.
For “Swiss steak, with gravy, meatless,” 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
preparation
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.
- 03
added 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
sauce or seasoning
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 2707474 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 180 kcal per 100 g becomes 292 kcal at 162 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: 2707474
FNDDS food code: 41811950
The scaling for FDC 2707474 can be exact while the match to “Swiss steak, with gravy, meatless” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 162 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
