A plain bagel ranges from 69 kcal for USDA’s 26 g mini to 346 kcal for its 131 g large. FDC 174899 gives 264 kcal/100 g and four diameter-based portions: mini 2.5 inches, small 3 inches, medium 3.5–4 inches and large 4.5 inches.

How Many Calories in a Mango? 202 for a Big One, Half That for a Honey Mango
A whole mango has 202 kcal when “whole” means USDA’s 336 g of fruit without refuse: 60 kcal per 100 g × 336 g ÷ 100 = 201.6 kcal (FDC 169910). A cup of pieces is 165 g and 99 kcal. USDA’s record does not identify a cultivar or give a honey mango weight, so the smaller fruit needs its own edible measurement.
How Many Calories in a Steak? The Cut and the Trim Move It by Half
A steak has no single calorie count. USDA FDC 168726 gives 201 kcal per 100 g for raw top sirloin with lean and fat and a 1/8-inch trim: its 608 g steak contains 1,222 kcal. A cooked, lean-only top sirloin portion is 292 g and 534 kcal in FDC 168634. Match cut, fat eaten and weighing state before choosing a figure.

A cooked bacon slice is 43 kcal in USDA FDC 167712: reduced-sodium pork bacon, 541 kcal/100 g and an 8 g cooked slice. Raw pork bacon is 110 kcal for a 28 g slice at 393 kcal/100 g (FDC 168277). These are separate records and portion weights, not a measured before-and-after of the same rasher. Preparation and slice size must accompany the number.

Calories in Mexican Food: Tacos, Tamales, Quesadillas and More, From USDA Data
Twenty-four Mexican and Mexican-American items USDA has actually weighed, per 100 g and per piece: a pork tamale is 247 kcal, a corn-tortilla beef taco 261, a bolillo 372, a churro 189 and a restaurant cheese quesadilla 714. Fried masa and cheese are the two things that double a dish per 100 g — and the torta, alas, has never been weighed.
