The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 376 calories for USDA reference amount at 225 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 167 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.3 g protein, 7.4 g fiber, and 542 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated, representing 19.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 11 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 taco salad, NS as to size 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 204–738 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 2708513: “Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream.” 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 2708513, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 large taco salad” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 122 g | 204 kcal | 6.1 g | 4 g | 294 mg |
| 1 small taco saladUSDA-listed household measure | 266 g | 444 kcal | 13.3 g | 8.8 g | 641 mg |
| 1 large taco saladUSDA-listed household measure | 442 g | 738 kcal | 22.1 g | 14.6 g | 1,065 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708513’s 225 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708510 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 large taco salad
USDA assigns those measures 122 g and 442 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 204 kcal to 738 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708510
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.3 g more total fat than “Taco or tostada salad, meatless.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated
The source formulation has 11 input rows; Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated supplies 19.9% 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 “meatless with sour cream” fits. Inspect FDC 2708510 when “meatless” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
- NS as to… means “not specified as to…” the detail that follows. It preserves an unknown distinction; it does not mean the ingredient or characteristic is absent.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708513, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Burritos and tacos” 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 1.3 g more total fat than “Taco or tostada salad, meatless.”
Only this record lists Cream, sour, full fat. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated; Vegetable oil, NFS; Beans, black turtle, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt; Lettuce, iceberg, raw; and 6 more.
Listed only in this record: Cream, sour, full fat.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 225 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 taco salad, NS as to size (354 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 225 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 taco salad, NS as to size (311 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708513 with FDC 2708510 at equal mass; use their 225 g and 225 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708513 versus FDC 2708510 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 item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2708513 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 167 kcal per 100 g becomes 376 kcal at 225 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: 2708513
FNDDS food code: 58101955
The scaling for FDC 2708513 can be exact while the match to “Taco or tostada salad, meatless with sour cream” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 225 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
