Using this food reference
The barley record is pearled barley after cooking. Its cooked-cup comparison should not be used as though it were a cup of dry barley.
Pearling and preparation define the food identity here. Use the cooked edible weight for a soup or grain bowl, and count the other ingredients rather than treating the whole recipe as barley.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Barley, pearled, cooked. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
