Using this food reference
This record describes raw carrots. A medium-carrot portion and the per-100 g figures are different ways of expressing the same reference, not separate nutrient analyses.
Cooked carrots, carrot juice and carrots prepared with butter have different food identities. For a salad or snack, weigh the edible raw pieces rather than assuming every carrot has the reference size.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Carrots, raw. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
