What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 16 named USDA records in view: 16 direct matches. All sit within “Eggs and omelets.” 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 16 records together under the exact grouping key “egg omelet or scrambled egg with cheese.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, this page can compare 16 named records from FDC 2707210 through FDC 2707248. 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

120–210 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.8× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

59 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat”; the higher is “made with oil.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

78 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, …, fat added · FDC 2707247” (308 mg) and “with cheese, meat, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat” (386 mg).

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 egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese.

Important: “Lower” begins with Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, no added fat; “higher” ends with Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, fat added, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, 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

The listed source amounts run from 120 to 210 grams—a 90-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 205 calories for “with cheese, no added fat” to 420 for “with cheese, …, fat added.” At a fixed 100 grams, “with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat” is 153 calories and “made with oil” is 212—a fixed-weight separation of 59 calories. For Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, 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 “with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings”, “with cheese, made with oil”, “with cheese, meat, and tomatoes, no added fat”, “with cheese, meat, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, fat added”, and “with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes cheese as ingredient in sandwiches, eggs, grade a, large, egg whole, and salt, table; differentiating rows include breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet, dark green vegetables as ingredient in omelet, tomatoes as ingredient in omelet, and oil or table fat, nfs. On this Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese 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 “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese” cannot resolve the differences between Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings and Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat. 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 120–210 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 “with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings”, “with cheese, made with oil”, “with cheese, meat, and tomatoes, no added fat”, “with cheese, meat, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, fat added”, and “with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include cheese as ingredient in sandwiches and eggs, grade a, large, egg whole; rows that vary across the set include breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet, dark green vegetables as ingredient in omelet, and tomatoes as ingredient in omelet. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Egg omelet or scrambled, … animal fat or meat drippings” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese 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 egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings”, “with cheese, meat, and dark-green vegetables, fat added”, “with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”, and “with cheese, tomatoes, and dark-green vegetables, no added fat”—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 Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese 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.

Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings reports 209 kcal per 100 g and 272 kcal in USDA source amount (130 g). Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, fat added reports a lower 200 kcal per 100 g but a higher 420 kcal in USDA source amount (210 g).

Choose the record before reading the number

Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings and Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with cooking spray are not interchangeable

The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Added-fat wording (added fat; animal fat or meat drippings versus cooking spray) 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.
