Compare all 4 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 4 exact records in this guide report 212–257 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 322–396 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 Coffee cake, begin by separating “Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type” from “Coffee cake, yeast type.” 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 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Doughnuts, sweet rolls, pastries.” 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 4 records together under the exact grouping key “coffee cake.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Coffee cake, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2708079 through FDC 2707677. 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

57–78 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.4× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

74 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with fruit”; the higher is “crumb or quick-bread type.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1.2 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “cheese-filled” (1.2 g) and “yeast type” (2.4 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 coffee cake.

Important: “Lower” begins with Coffee cake, yeast type; “higher” ends with Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every coffee cake meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Coffee cake, 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 57 to 78 grams—a 21-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 212 calories for “yeast type” to 257 for “crumb or quick-bread type.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with fruit” is 322 calories and “crumb or quick-bread type” is 396—a fixed-weight separation of 74 calories. For Coffee cake, 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 “crumb or quick-bread type”, “crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled”, “crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit”, and “yeast type”. The source formulations contain 13 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include butter, stick, salted, eggs, grade a, large, egg whole, flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, and leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate. On this Coffee cake 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 “Coffee cake” cannot resolve the differences between Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type and Coffee cake, yeast type. 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 57–78 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 “crumb or quick-bread type”, “crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled”, “crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit”, and “yeast type”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    13 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 “Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Coffee cake 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 coffee cake is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“crumb or quick-bread type”, “crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled”, “crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit”, and “yeast type”—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 Coffee cake 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 4 exact records behind Coffee cake 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

Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled is higher in calcium per 100 g

Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled reports 150 mg versus 72 mg for Coffee cake, yeast type: a 78 mg difference when both are normalized to 100 g.

Inspect the underlying evidence

The denominator changes the answer

Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled is denser; Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit is higher in its source amount

Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, cheese-filled reports 365 kcal per 100 g and 237 kcal in USDA source amount (65 g). Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit reports a lower 322 kcal per 100 g but a higher 251 kcal in USDA source amount (78 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type and Coffee cake, crumb or quick-bread type, with fruit are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes the exact source description 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.
