The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 52 calories for USDA reference amount at 120 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 43 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 2.2 g fiber, and 156 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tomatoes, canned, red, ripe, diced, representing 97.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 47–103 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 2709722: “Tomatoes, canned, cooked.” 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 2709722, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 whole” through “1 cup” 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 “Tomatoes, canned, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709724 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 whole to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 110 g and 240 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 47 kcal to 103 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2709724

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 112 mg more sodium than “Tomatoes, canned, reduced sodium, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Tomatoes, canned, red, ripe, diced

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Tomatoes, canned, red, ripe, diced supplies 97.1% 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 “canned; cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2709724 when “canned; reduced sodium; cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

FDC 2709722 appears in 2 pair pages that passed semantic, material-difference, source-evidence, and diversity gates. Each preserves a 100-gram denominator and both primary records.

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 “Tomatoes, canned, cooked,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2709722 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 43 kcal per 100 g becomes 52 kcal at 120 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: 2709722

FNDDS food code: 74201003

The scaling for FDC 2709722 can be exact while the match to “Tomatoes, canned, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 120 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
