The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 225 calories for 1 cup at 247 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 91 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 8.6 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 753 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beverages, water, tap, municipal, representing 70.8% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup 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 225–387 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 2708788: “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce, canned.” 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 2708788, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 can (15 oz)” 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 | 185.3 g | 169 kcal | 6.4 g | 1.5 g | 565 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 247 g | 225 kcal | 8.6 g | 2 g | 753 mg |
| 1 can (15 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 425 g | 387 kcal | 14.8 g | 3.4 g | 1,296 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 169 exact records in the Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2708788’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708788’s 247 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.
Strength-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce, canned,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708787 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 can (15 oz)
USDA assigns those measures 247 g and 425 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 225 kcal to 387 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708787
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.2 g less total fat than “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, municipal
The source formulation has 11 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, municipal supplies 70.8% 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 “cheese-filled; meatless; with tomato sauce; canned” fits. Inspect FDC 2708787 when “cheese-filled; meatless; with tomato sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708788, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese” 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 58 less calories, 2.7 g less protein, and 7 g less carbohydrate than “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce.”
Only this record lists Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Noodles, egg, dry, enriched; Cheese, ricotta, part skim milk; Cheese, parmesan, grated. Only the comparison record lists Tortellini, cheese-filled, no sauce; Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear 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.
Listed only in this record: Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Noodles, egg, dry, enriched; Cheese, ricotta, part skim milk; Cheese, parmesan, grated; and 7 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Tortellini, cheese-filled, no sauce; Sauce, pasta, spaghetti/marinara, ready-to-serve.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 247 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (247 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 250 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (250 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708788 with FDC 2708787 at equal mass; use their 247 g and 250 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708788 versus FDC 2708787 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 amount served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce, canned,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount served
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
cooked-to-dry ratio
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
sauce or mix-ins
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
added fat
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 2708788 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 91 kcal per 100 g becomes 225 kcal at 247 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 cup 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: 2708788
FNDDS food code: 58134623
The scaling for FDC 2708788 can be exact while the match to “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with tomato sauce, canned” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 247 g weight, 11-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
