The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 281 calories for 1 cup at 210 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 134 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.9 g protein, 2.1 g fiber, and 1,298 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is noodles, egg, enriched, cooked, representing 55.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 16 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 2708785: “Tortellini, meat-filled, with tomato sauce.” 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 2708785, 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 | 157.5 g | 211 kcal | 10.4 g | 1.6 g | 973 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 210 g | 281 kcal | 13.9 g | 2.1 g | 1,298 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 262.5 g | 352 kcal | 17.4 g | 2.6 g | 1,622 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 169 exact records in the Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708785’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 2708785’s 210 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, meat-filled, with tomato sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708790 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 210 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 157.5–262.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 211 kcal and 352 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708790
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.7 g less protein than “Tortellini, meat-filled, no sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked
The source formulation has 16 input rows; Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked supplies 55.3% 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 “meat-filled; with tomato sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2708790 when “meat-filled; no sauce” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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.
Shared listed inputs: Pork, fresh, composite of trimmed retail cuts (leg, loin, and shoulder), separable lean only, cooked; Veal, loin, chop, separable lean only, cooked, grilled; Chicken, NS as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Pork, cured, ham, whole, separable lean only, roasted; and 6 more.
Listed only in this record: Noodles, egg, enriched, cooked; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Tomato products, canned, sauce; Spices, basil, dried; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 210 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (210 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 190 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (190 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708785 with FDC 2708790 at equal mass; use their 210 g and 190 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708785 versus FDC 2708790 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, meat-filled, with tomato sauce,” 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 2708785 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 134 kcal per 100 g becomes 281 kcal at 210 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: 2708785
FNDDS food code: 58134610
The scaling for FDC 2708785 can be exact while the match to “Tortellini, meat-filled, with tomato sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 210 g weight, 16-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
