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

135–210 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.6× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

4 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “1 medium patty”; the higher is “1 large patty.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

0.4 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “1 large patty” (1.6 g) and “1 small patty” (2.0 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 cheeseburger on wheat bun 1.

Important: “Lower” begins with Cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 1 small patty; “higher” ends with Cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 1 large patty, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every cheeseburger on wheat bun 1 meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Cheeseburger on wheat bun 1, 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 135 to 210 grams—a 75-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 394 calories for “1 small patty” to 620 for “1 large patty.” At a fixed 100 grams, “1 medium patty” is 291 calories and “1 large patty” is 295—a fixed-weight separation of 4 calories. For Cheeseburger on wheat bun 1, 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 “on wheat bun, 1 large patty”, “on wheat bun, 1 medium patty”, and “on wheat bun, 1 small patty”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled, cheese as ingredient in sandwiches, and salt, table. On this Cheeseburger on wheat bun 1 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.

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Cheeseburger on wheat bun 1” cannot resolve the differences between Cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 1 large patty and Cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 1 small patty. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

    Formulation evidence, with limits
