What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

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

155–330 g before composition

The largest source amount is 2.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

8 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “on wheat bun, 2 small patties”; the higher is “on white bun, 2 medium patties.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1.1 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “from fast food, 2 large patties” (0.3 g) and “on wheat bun, 2 small patties” (1.4 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 double cheeseburger.

Important: “Lower” begins with Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 small patties; “higher” ends with Double cheeseburger, on white bun, 2 large patties, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every double cheeseburger meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Double cheeseburger, 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 155 to 330 grams—a 175-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 460 calories for “from fast food, 2 small patties” to 987 for “on white bun, 2 large patties.” At a fixed 100 grams, “on wheat bun, 2 small patties” is 292 calories and “on white bun, 2 medium patties” is 300—a fixed-weight separation of 8 calories. For Double cheeseburger, 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 “from fast food, 2 large patties”, “from fast food, 2 small patties”, “on wheat bun, 2 medium patties”, “on white bun, 2 large patties”, and “on white bun, 2 small patties”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled, cheese as ingredient in sandwiches, and salt, table; differentiating rows include rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain and wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches. On this Double cheeseburger 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 “Double cheeseburger” cannot resolve the differences between Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 large patties and Double cheeseburger, on white bun, 2 small patties. 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 155–330 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 “from fast food, 2 large patties”, “from fast food, 2 small patties”, “on wheat bun, 2 medium patties”, “on white bun, 2 large patties”, and “on white bun, 2 small patties”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled and cheese as ingredient in sandwiches; rows that vary across the set include rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain and wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 large patties” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Double cheeseburger 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 double cheeseburger is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“from fast food, 2 large patties”, “on wheat bun, 2 large patties”, “on wheat bun, 2 small patties”, and “on white bun, 2 small patties”—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 Double cheeseburger 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.
