The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 275 calories for 1 small/regular at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 275 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 11.6 g protein, 2.5 g fiber, and 447 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish, ns as to type, fried, representing 59.7% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 small/regular at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 138–413 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 2708529: “Taco, fish.” 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 2708529, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature” through “1 large” 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 “Taco, fish,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708532 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 miniature to 1 large

    USDA assigns those measures 50 g and 150 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 138 kcal to 413 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708532

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.1 g more total fat than “Taco, with beans, no cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Fish, NS as to type, fried

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Fish, NS as to type, fried supplies 59.7% 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 “fish” fits. Inspect FDC 2708532 when “with beans; no cheese” 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 item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.

For “Taco, fish,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    item 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.

  2. 02

    bread or wrapper size

    Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.

  3. 03

    fillings

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    sauces and cheese

    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 2708529 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 275 kcal per 100 g becomes 275 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.” The separately listed 1 small/regular 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: 2708529

FNDDS food code: 58102210

The scaling for FDC 2708529 can be exact while the match to “Taco, fish” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
