The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 326 calories for 1 cup at 169 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 193 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10.5 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 1,080 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cheese, ricotta, whole milk, representing 31% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 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.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708789: “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with vinaigrette dressing.” 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 2708789, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 | 126.8 g | 245 kcal | 7.9 g | 0.8 g | 810 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 169 g | 326 kcal | 10.5 g | 1 g | 1,080 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 211.3 g | 408 kcal | 13.2 g | 1.3 g | 1,350 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708789’s 169 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with vinaigrette dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708791 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 169 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 126.8–211.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 245 kcal and 408 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708791
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.4 g more total fat than “Tortellini, cheese-filled, with cream sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Cheese, ricotta, whole milk
The source formulation has 9 input rows; Cheese, ricotta, whole milk supplies 31% 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 vinaigrette dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2708791 when “cheese-filled; with cream sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 40 more calories, 2.1 g more carbohydrate, and 3.4 g more total fat than “Tortellini, cheese-filled, with cream sauce.”
Only this record lists Onions, raw; Salad dressing, home recipe, vinegar and oil. Only the comparison record lists Onions, cooked, as ingredient; White sauce or gravy. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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.
Shared listed inputs: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Salt, table; and 3 more.
Listed only in this record: Onions, raw; Salad dressing, home recipe, vinegar and oil.
Listed only in the comparison: Onions, cooked, as ingredient; White sauce or gravy.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 169 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (169 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 2708789 with FDC 2708791 at equal mass; use their 169 g and 250 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708789 versus FDC 2708791 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 vinaigrette dressing,” 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 2708789 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 193 kcal per 100 g becomes 326 kcal at 169 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: 2708789
FNDDS food code: 58134640
The scaling for FDC 2708789 can be exact while the match to “Tortellini, cheese-filled, meatless, with vinaigrette dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 169 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
