The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 156 calories for 1 McDonald's parfait at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 104 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 7.9 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 66 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit, representing 30% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 McDonald's parfait 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 2705450: “Yogurt parfait, with fruit.” 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 2705450, 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.

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, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2705450’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 2705450’s 150 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin C; 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

Vitamin C20 mg

≈ 23% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Calcium129 mg

≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Saturated fat0.9 g

≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Sodium66 mg

≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Yogurt parfait, with fruit,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705426 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 150 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 112.5–187.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 117 kcal and 195 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2705426

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g more dietary fiber than “Yogurt, whole milk, fruit.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit supplies 30% 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 “with fruit” fits. Inspect FDC 2705426 when “whole milk; fruit” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2705450 to 4 source inputs totaling 250 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Yogurt parfait, with fruit” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

4 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit, Yogurt, Greek, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit, Berries, NFS. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

250 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

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 2705450, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Yogurt, regular” 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 1.9 g more protein, 1.7 g less total fat, and 1.1 g more dietary fiber than “Yogurt, whole milk, fruit.”

Only this record lists Yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit; Yogurt, Greek, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit; Berries, NFS; Cereal, granola. Only the comparison record lists Yogurt, plain, whole milk; Jams and preserves; Vitamin D as ingredient. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

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.

Listed only in this record: Yogurt, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit; Yogurt, Greek, low fat milk, flavors other than fruit; Berries, NFS; Cereal, granola.

Listed only in the comparison: Yogurt, plain, whole milk; Jams and preserves; Vitamin D as ingredient.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 McDonald's parfait (150 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 2705450 with FDC 2705426 at equal mass; use their 150 g and 170 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2705450 versus FDC 2705426 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 parfait, with fruit,” 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 2705450 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 104 kcal per 100 g becomes 156 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 1 McDonald's parfait 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: 2705450

FNDDS food code: 11446000

The scaling for FDC 2705450 can be exact while the match to “Yogurt parfait, with fruit” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
