The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 240 calories for USDA reference amount at 189 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 127 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 11.2 g protein, 2.6 g fiber, and 599 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt, representing 41.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 240–320 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 2706662: “Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; gravy.” 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 2706662, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706662’s 189 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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 “Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706663 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 189 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 141.8–236.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 180 kcal and 300 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706663

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g less carbohydrate than “Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables excluding carrots, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; gravy.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt

    The source formulation has 7 input rows; Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt supplies 41.1% 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 “potatoes; and vegetables including carrots; broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy” fits. Inspect FDC 2706663 when “potatoes; and vegetables excluding carrots; broccoli; and dark-green leafy” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706662, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Meat mixed dishes” 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

The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.

Only this record lists Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt; Beans, snap, green, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained without salt. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

Formulation evidence

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, recipe and ingredient ratios, added cooking fat, sauces and toppings.

For “Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green…,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    recipe and ingredient ratios

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    added cooking 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.

  4. 04

    sauces and toppings

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2706662 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 127 kcal per 100 g becomes 240 kcal at 189 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.

Exact USDA description: Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; gravy

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706662

FNDDS food code: 27336200

The scaling for FDC 2706662 can be exact while the match to “Venison or deer, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; gravy” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 189 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
