USDA Survey Foods338 exact records

Sandwiches, burgers & wraps: find the record that best matches the food.

Sandwiches, burgers, tacos, burritos, and other hand-held meals. This page shows the shape of the collection before asking you to choose a number: what sits near the middle, how wide the central range is, and which words distinguish one source record from another.

The shortest route to a defensible estimate

Choose in this order: identity, amount, then context.

  1. 01

    Identity

    Match the exact food description—especially preparation, additions, and whether the record is a single food or mixed dish.

  2. 02

    Amount

    Use a household measure tied to that record or enter grams. A familiar serving word without a weight can hide a large difference.

  3. 03

    Context

    Add the brand, recipe, sauce, cooking fat, toppings, or edible portion that the generic source record cannot know.

What the collection actually contains

Central nutrient ranges on one denominator

Each row uses values per 100 grams. The median is the collection midpoint; the central range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile. That interval describes variation among source records—not uncertainty around a single meal and not a recommended intake range.

Zeros are retained when reported; missing values are not silently converted to zero. Rounded values are for orientation. Open an exact profile for Feast’s 21-nutrient panel and source citation.

Three coordinates, not winners

Records that make the range easier to understand

These examples sit near the collection’s energy midpoint or upper central protein and fiber boundaries. A high value for one nutrient is not a complete judgment of the food, and the records are not ranked as “best.”

The denominator changes the answer

Egg sandwich on white bread, with cheese is denser; Burrito, with beans and rice, cheese is higher in its source amount

Egg sandwich on white bread, with cheese reports 248 kcal per 100 g and 335 kcal in USDA source amount (135 g). Burrito, with beans and rice, cheese reports a lower 202 kcal per 100 g but a higher 444 kcal in USDA source amount (220 g).

Record identity is part of the estimate

Distinguish “Egg sandwich on white bread, with cheese” from “Chicken deli sandwich or sub, restaurant”

These are separate USDA records with separate formulations or survey descriptions. Match preparation, additions, and the named household amount before borrowing either record’s nutrients.

Interpretation, not trivia

Three questions that prevent the most common category mistakes

Food databases become more useful when the limits are part of the answer rather than buried beneath it.

What does this category’s median represent?

It is the calculated median among the records in this Feast category on a 100-gram basis. It is not a measurement of a particular food, a suggested serving, or an estimate of what people usually eat.

Why can two records in the same category be far apart?

A broad category can contain different ingredients, water content, preparation methods, additions, and formulations. Compare the complete record names before attributing a nutrient difference to any one factor.

Should I use the source serving or the per-100-gram value?

Use per 100 grams to compare nutrient concentration on equal weight. Use the closest household measure or gram amount to estimate the food you actually ate. The source serving is a reference amount, not a recommendation.
