Using this food reference
The lentil record is boiled mature seeds without added salt. Its cup is cooked lentils, not a cup of dry seeds before water absorption.
Use the cooked gram weight when comparing a portion. Lentil soup, a lentil curry and canned lentils may include different liquid or other ingredients, so their full dish weight is not automatically an equal weight of these lentils.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Lentils, mature seeds, cooked, boiled, without salt. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
