Vegetarian stew calories: 61 per 185 g
This exact USDA record reports 61 calories for 185 g. That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 61 calories for USDA reference amount at 185 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 33 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.2 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 266 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, drinking, representing 41.8% 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 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 61–82 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 2707479: “Vegetarian stew.” 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 2707479, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 138.8 g | 46 kcal | 0.9 g | 1.5 g | 200 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 185 g | 61 kcal | 1.2 g | 2 g | 266 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 247 g | 82 kcal | 1.7 g | 2.7 g | 356 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707479’s 185 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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
Vitamin C9 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Vegetarian stew,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2710063 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 185 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 138.8–231.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 46 kcal and 76 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2710063
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.9 g more total fat than “Stew, vegetable.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beverages, water, tap, drinking
The source formulation has 9 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 41.8% 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 the exact wording “Vegetarian stew” fits. Inspect FDC 2710063 when “vegetable” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 14 less calories, 7 g less carbohydrate, and 1.9 g more total fat than “Stew, vegetable.”
Only this record lists Butter, stick, salted; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Celery, raw; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Vegetables as ingredient in stews. 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.
Shared listed inputs: Beverages, water, tap, drinking; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Butter, stick, salted; Okra, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Celery, raw; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; and 3 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Vegetables as ingredient in stews.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 185 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (247 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (255 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707479 with FDC 2710063 at equal mass; use their 185 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707479 versus FDC 2710063 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 portion size, raw versus cooked weight, cooking method, added fat or sauce.
For “Vegetarian stew,” 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 2707479 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 33 kcal per 100 g becomes 61 kcal at 185 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: 2707479
FNDDS food code: 41812800
The scaling for FDC 2707479 can be exact while the match to “Vegetarian stew” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 185 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
