The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 243 calories for 1 sandwich at 105 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 231 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.4 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 547 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, white, commercially prepared, representing 57.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 sandwich at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706979: “Bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on white.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706979, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 78.8 g | 182 kcal | 8.6 g | 1.3 g | 410 mg |
| 1 sandwich, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 105 g | 243 kcal | 11.4 g | 1.8 g | 547 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 131.3 g | 303 kcal | 14.3 g | 2.2 g | 684 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on white,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706980 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 105 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 78.8–131.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 182 kcal and 303 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706980
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.7 g less dietary fiber than “Bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on wheat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bread, white, commercially prepared
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Bread, white, commercially prepared supplies 57.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Pork, cured, bacon, pre-sliced, cooked, pan-fried; Lettuce, for use on a sandwich; Tomatoes, for use on a sandwich.
Listed only in this record: Bread, white, commercially prepared.
Listed only in the comparison: Wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 105 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (105 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 105 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (105 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706979 with FDC 2706980 at equal mass; use their 105 g and 105 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706979 versus FDC 2706980 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on white,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
item size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
sauces and cheese
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706979 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 231 kcal per 100 g becomes 243 kcal at 105 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 sandwich has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706979
FNDDS food code: 27520610
The scaling for FDC 2706979 can be exact while the match to “Bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich on white” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 105 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
