The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 98 calories for USDA reference amount at 80 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 122 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 0.4 g protein, 0.5 g fiber, and 170 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average, representing 27.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 98–194 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2709756: “Tomato and cucumber salad made with tomato, cucumber, oil, and vinegar.” 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
For FDC 2709756, 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 | 60 g | 73 kcal | 0.3 g | 0.4 g | 127 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 80 g | 98 kcal | 0.4 g | 0.5 g | 170 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 159 g | 194 kcal | 0.8 g | 1 g | 337 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 11 exact records in the Coleslaw, non-lettuce salads USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2709756’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2709756’s 80 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Sodium170 mg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.1 g
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Tomato and cucumber salad made with tomato, cucumber, oil, and vinegar,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709821 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 60–100 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 73 kcal and 122 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 10.1 g more total fat than “Cucumber salad made with cucumber and vinegar.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average supplies 27.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Uncertainty, made actionable
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 “Tomato and cucumber salad made with tomato, cucumber, oil, and vinegar,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
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.
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.
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
FDC 2709756 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 122 kcal per 100 g becomes 98 kcal at 80 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

FNDDS food code: 74506000
The scaling for FDC 2709756 can be exact while the match to “Tomato and cucumber salad made with tomato, cucumber, oil, and vinegar” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 80 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
