The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 104 calories for USDA reference amount at 118 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 88 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 401 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 77% 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, cooked 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 104–139 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 2708420: “Yellow rice, 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 2708420, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup, cooked” 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 | 88.5 g | 78 kcal | 1.6 g | 0.4 g | 301 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 118 g | 104 kcal | 2.1 g | 0.6 g | 401 mg |
| 1 cup, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 158 g | 139 kcal | 2.8 g | 0.8 g | 537 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Rice
The comparison set contains 20 exact records in the Rice USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2708420’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708420’s 118 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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
Magnesium35 mg
≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium401 mg
≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Yellow rice, cooked, no added fat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708421 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 118 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 88.5–147.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 78 kcal and 130 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708421
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2 g less total fat than “Yellow rice, cooked, fat added.” 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 2 input rows; Beverages, water, tap, drinking supplies 77% 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 2708421 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: Yellow rice with seasoning, dry packet mix, unprepared; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Listed only in the comparison: Margarine, stick.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 118 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, cooked (158 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 122 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, cooked (163 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708420 with FDC 2708421 at equal mass; use their 118 g and 122 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708420 versus FDC 2708421 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 “Yellow rice, cooked, no added fat,” 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 2708420 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 88 kcal per 100 g becomes 104 kcal at 118 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: 2708420
FNDDS food code: 56205150
The scaling for FDC 2708420 can be exact while the match to “Yellow rice, cooked, no added fat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 118 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
