The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 229 calories for 1 cup at 122 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 188 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 10.9 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 245 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, representing 33.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 2708794: “Tortellini, spinach-filled, no 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 2708794, 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 | 91.5 g | 172 kcal | 8.2 g | 0.8 g | 184 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 122 g | 229 kcal | 10.9 g | 1.1 g | 245 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 152.5 g | 287 kcal | 13.6 g | 1.4 g | 307 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708794’s 122 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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, spinach-filled, no sauce,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708793 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 122 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 91.5–152.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 172 kcal and 287 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708793
At an equal 100 g, this record has 395 mg less sodium than “Tortellini, spinach-filled, with tomato sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached supplies 33.6% 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 “spinach-filled; no sauce” fits. Inspect FDC 2708793 when “spinach-filled; with tomato sauce” 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 amount served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Tortellini, spinach-filled, no 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 2708794 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 188 kcal per 100 g becomes 229 kcal at 122 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: 2708794
FNDDS food code: 58134720
The scaling for FDC 2708794 can be exact while the match to “Tortellini, spinach-filled, no sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 122 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
