Compare all 14 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 14 exact records in this guide report 255–281 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 243–268 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Bagel, begin by separating “Bagel” from “Bagel, with raisins.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 14 named USDA records in view: 14 direct matches. All sit within “Bagels and English muffins.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 14 records together under the exact grouping key “bagel.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Bagel, this page can compare 14 named records from FDC 2707684 through FDC 2707685. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

A shared 105 g comparison anchor

Equal source weights make the selected Bagel serving totals easier to compare, but the eaten portion still has to be measured or estimated.

Composition

25 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with fruit other than raisins”; the higher is “with raisins.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

2.8 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “Bagel” (1.6 g) and “with fruit and nuts” (4.4 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

These 14 records each use a 105 g serving. Their serving calories compare equal weights within this set. They do not define a calorie range for every bagel; match the preparation and adjust to your portion.

Important: “Lower” begins with Bagel, with fruit other than raisins; “higher” ends with Bagel, with raisins, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every bagel meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Bagel, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

Every selected record uses a 105-gram source amount, so serving-weight differences do not explain the calorie spread inside this set. Their own source servings run from 255 calories for “with fruit other than raisins” to 281 for “with raisins.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with fruit other than raisins” is 243 calories and “with raisins” is 268—a fixed-weight separation of 25 calories. For Bagel, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “Bagel”, “oat bran”, “wheat, with fruit and nuts”, “whole wheat”, and “with raisins”. The source formulations contain 7 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include bagels, wheat, raisins, dark, seedless (includes foods for usda's food distribution program), bagels, plain, enriched, with calcium propionate (includes onion, poppy, sesame), and apples, dried, sulfured, uncooked. On this Bagel page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Bagel” cannot resolve the differences between Bagel and Bagel, with raisins. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    A shared source weight

    Every selected record uses 105 grams. Inside this set, serving-calorie differences therefore reflect the published composition rather than a change in source weight.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “Bagel”, “oat bran”, “wheat, with fruit and nuts”, “whole wheat”, and “with raisins”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    7 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Bagel” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Bagel unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that bagel is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“Bagel”, “pumpernickel”, “whole grain white”, and “with raisins”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Bagel source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Decision support from the exact records on this page

Turn source data into a better next decision

These conclusions and reading paths are computed from 14 exact records behind Bagel source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.

Equal-weight result

Bagel, wheat, with fruit and nuts is higher in dietary fiber per 100 g

Bagel, wheat, with fruit and nuts reports 4.4 g versus 1.6 g for Bagel: a 2.8 g difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

These listed servings have equal weights

14 listed servings each weigh 105 g

The 14 records with a listed serving weight on this page each use 105 g. Their serving totals therefore compare equal weights, even if the household labels differ. Match the preparation and adjust the weight to the amount you eat.

Choose the record before reading the number

Bagel and Bagel, whole grain white are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Grain wording (No matching controlled term in the source name versus whole-grain or whole-wheat wording) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
