The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 141 calories for a 5.3-ounce container at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 94 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 13.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 51 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is yogurt, greek, plain, whole milk, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 a 5.3-ounce container at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 141–230 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 2705422: “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, plain.” 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 2705422, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 5.3 oz container” 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 2705422’s 150 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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

Calcium167 mg

≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin A57 µg

≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Saturated fat3.6 g

≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Sodium51 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, plain,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705430 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 5.3 oz container to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 150 g and 245 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 141 kcal to 230 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2705430

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.1 g less carbohydrate than “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, fruit.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “Greek; whole milk; plain” fits. Inspect FDC 2705430 when “Greek; whole milk; fruit” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

How to compare FDC 2705422: its source amount is 150 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2705422 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, plain” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2705422, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Yogurt, Greek” 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

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 20 less calories and 7.1 g less carbohydrate than “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, fruit.”

Only the comparison record lists Jams and preserves; Vitamin D as ingredient. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

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: Yogurt, Greek, plain, whole milk.

Listed only in the comparison: Jams and preserves; Vitamin D as ingredient.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets match

This record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is a 5.3-ounce container (150 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is a 5.3-ounce container (150 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705422 with FDC 2705430 at equal mass; use their 150 g and 150 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2705422 versus FDC 2705430 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, fat level, brand or formulation, added flavors or sweeteners.

For “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, plain,” 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

    fat level

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  3. 03

    brand or formulation

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

  4. 04

    added flavors or sweeteners

    Use a label or known recipe when available, because sweetness does not reveal dose. Keep syrups, sugars, and concentrated add-ins separate when the base record does not name them.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2705422 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 94 kcal per 100 g becomes 141 kcal at 150 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 5.3-ounce container 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: 2705422

FNDDS food code: 11411400

The scaling for FDC 2705422 can be exact while the match to “Yogurt, Greek, whole milk, plain” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
