The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 275 calories for 1 cup at 205 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 21.3 g protein, 3.1 g fiber, and 726 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is restaurant, chinese, vegetable chow mein, without meat or noodles, representing 58.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 2708931: “Yat Ga Mein with meat, fish, or poultry.” 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 2708931, 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 | 153.8 g | 206 kcal | 16 g | 2.3 g | 544 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 205 g | 275 kcal | 21.3 g | 3.1 g | 726 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 256.3 g | 343 kcal | 26.7 g | 3.8 g | 907 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708931’s 205 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Yat Ga Mein with meat, fish, or poultry,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706724 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 205 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 153.8–256.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 206 kcal and 343 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706724
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Chow mein or chop suey, various types of meat, with noodles.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Restaurant, Chinese, vegetable chow mein, without meat or noodles
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Restaurant, Chinese, vegetable chow mein, without meat or noodles supplies 58.8% 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 “fish; or poultry” fits. Inspect FDC 2706724 when “various types of meat; with noodles” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708931, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Fried rice and lo/chow mein” 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.
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, loin, whole, separable lean only, cooked, roasted; Chicken, NS as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Beef, round, top round roast, boneless, separable lean and fat, trimmed to 0" fat, all grades, cooked, roasted; Noodles, chinese, chow mein; and 1 more.
The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 205 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (205 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 220 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (220 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708931 with FDC 2706724 at equal mass; use their 205 g and 220 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708931 versus FDC 2706724 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 “Yat Ga Mein with meat, fish, or poultry,” 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 2708931 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 134 kcal per 100 g becomes 275 kcal at 205 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: 2708931
FNDDS food code: 58147520
The scaling for FDC 2708931 can be exact while the match to “Yat Ga Mein with meat, fish, or poultry” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 205 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
