Yogurt, nonfat milk, plain calories: 85 per 6-ounce container (170 g)
This exact USDA record reports 85 calories for a 6-ounce container (170 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 85 calories for a 6-ounce container at 170 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 50 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 87 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is yogurt, plain, nonfat, representing 100% 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 source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists a 6-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 57–123 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 2705420: “Yogurt, nonfat 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 2705420, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 4 oz container” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 4 oz containerUSDA-listed household measure | 113 g | 57 kcal | 4.8 g | 0 g | 58 mg |
| 1 6 oz containerUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 85 kcal | 7.2 g | 0 g | 87 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 245 g | 123 kcal | 10.4 g | 0 g | 125 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Yogurt, regular
The comparison set contains 12 exact records in the Yogurt, regular USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2705420’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 2705420’s 170 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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 “Yogurt, nonfat milk, plain,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705428 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 4 oz container to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 113 g and 245 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 57 kcal to 123 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705428
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.6 g more protein than “Yogurt, nonfat milk, fruit.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Yogurt, plain, nonfat
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Yogurt, plain, nonfat supplies 100% 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 “nonfat milk; plain” fits. Inspect FDC 2705428 when “nonfat milk; fruit” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 the comparison record lists Jams and preserves; Beverages, water, tap, drinking. 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, plain, nonfat; Vitamin D as ingredient.
Listed only in the comparison: Jams and preserves; Beverages, water, tap, drinking.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is a 6-ounce container (170 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 170 g; a familiar listed measure is a 6-ounce container (170 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705420 with FDC 2705428 at equal mass; use their 170 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705420 versus FDC 2705428 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, nonfat 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2705420 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 50 kcal per 100 g becomes 85 kcal at 170 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 6-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: 2705420
FNDDS food code: 11411300
The scaling for FDC 2705420 can be exact while the match to “Yogurt, nonfat milk, plain” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 170 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
