The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 60 calories for USDA reference amount at 120 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 50 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.3 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 188 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 96.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 55–120 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 2709721: “Tomatoes, fresh, 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 2709721, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 wholeUSDA-listed household measure | 110 g | 55 kcal | 1.2 g | 1.7 g | 173 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 120 g | 60 kcal | 1.3 g | 1.8 g | 188 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Tomatoes, fresh, cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709722 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 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 55 kcal to 120 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709722
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.5 g more carbohydrate than “Tomatoes, canned, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average supplies 96.8% 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 “fresh; cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2709722 when “canned; cooked” 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, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Tomatoes, fresh, cooked,” 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 2709721 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 50 kcal per 100 g becomes 60 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: 2709721
FNDDS food code: 74201001
The scaling for FDC 2709721 can be exact while the match to “Tomatoes, fresh, cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 120 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
