Compare all 6 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 6 exact records in this guide report 75–97 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 207–295 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 Bread, multigrain, begin by separating “Bread, multigrain” from “Bread, multigrain, with raisins, toasted.” 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 6 named USDA records in view: 6 direct matches. All sit within “Yeast breads.” 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 two description segments” placed these 6 records together under the exact grouping key “bread multigrain.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Bread, multigrain, this page can compare 6 named records from FDC 2707777 through FDC 2707779. 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

33–36 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

88 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber”; the higher is “multigrain, with raisins, toasted.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

4.7 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “multigrain, with raisins” (7.1 g) and “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber, toasted” (11.8 g).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every bread, multigrain.

Important: “Lower” begins with Bread, multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber; “higher” ends with Bread, multigrain, with raisins, toasted, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every bread, multigrain meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Bread, multigrain, 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.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 33 to 36 grams—a 3-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 75 calories for “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber” to 97 for “multigrain, with raisins, toasted.” At a fixed 100 grams, “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber” is 207 calories and “multigrain, with raisins, toasted” is 295—a fixed-weight separation of 88 calories. For Bread, multigrain, 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 “multigrain”, “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber”, “multigrain, toasted”, “multigrain, with raisins”, and “multigrain, with raisins, toasted”. The source formulations contain 6 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include bread, multi-grain (includes whole-grain), bread, multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber, bread, multigrain, with raisins, and bread, reduced-calorie, white. On this Bread, multigrain 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 “Bread, multigrain” cannot resolve the differences between Bread, multigrain and Bread, multigrain, with raisins, toasted. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 33–36 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “multigrain”, “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber”, “multigrain, toasted”, “multigrain, with raisins”, and “multigrain, with raisins, toasted”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    6 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 “Bread, multigrain” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Bread, multigrain 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 bread, multigrain is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“multigrain”, “multigrain, reduced calorie and/or high fiber, toasted”, “multigrain, toasted”, and “multigrain, with raisins, toasted”—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 Bread, multigrain 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 6 exact records behind Bread, multigrain source-record guide. Links are chosen by record identity, controlled contrast, formulation input, nutrient spread, or serving context—not by loose keyword similarity.
