The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 42 calories for USDA reference amount at 113 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 37 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1 g protein, 3.2 g fiber, and 132 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is squash, winter, all varieties, cooked, baked, without salt, representing 99.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 42–83 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 2709694: “Winter squash, cooked, no added fat.” 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 2709694, 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 2709694’s 113 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 “Winter squash, cooked, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709695 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 113 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 84.8–141.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 31 kcal and 52 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2709695

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.5 g less total fat than “Winter squash, cooked, fat added.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Squash, winter, all varieties, cooked, baked, without salt

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Squash, winter, all varieties, cooked, baked, without salt supplies 99.7% 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 “cooked; no added fat” fits. Inspect FDC 2709695 when “cooked; fat added” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Squash, winter, all varieties, cooked, baked, without salt; Salt, table.

Listed only in the comparison: Oil or table fat, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 113 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (225 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (230 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709694 with FDC 2709695 at equal mass; use their 113 g and 115 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2709694 versus FDC 2709695 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 “Winter squash, cooked, no added fat,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2709694 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 37 kcal per 100 g becomes 42 kcal at 113 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: 2709694

FNDDS food code: 73303010

The scaling for FDC 2709694 can be exact while the match to “Winter squash, cooked, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 113 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
