The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 54 calories for 1 medium or regular slice at 18 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 299 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 2.1 g protein, 0.4 g fiber, and 119 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough), representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 medium or regular slice at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 24–81 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.

Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707605: “Bread, Cuban, toasted.” 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 2707605, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice, crust not eaten” through “1 large or thick slice” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707605’s 18 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

Strength-side signals

No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium119 mg

≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0.1 g

≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bread, Cuban, toasted,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707604 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 slice, crust not eaten to 1 large or thick slice

    USDA assigns those measures 8 g and 27 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 24 kcal to 81 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707604

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 27 kcal more calories than “Bread, Cuban.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough)

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “Cuban; toasted” fits. Inspect FDC 2707604 when “Cuban” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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: Bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough).

The ingredient codes overlap, while at least one listed amount, weight, sequence, or formulation detail differs.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium or regular slice (18 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 20 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium or regular slice (20 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707605 with FDC 2707604 at equal mass; use their 18 g and 20 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707605 versus FDC 2707604 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, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.

For “Bread, Cuban, toasted,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    recipe or brand

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    moisture and density

    Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.

  4. 04

    spreads or toppings

    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 2707605 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 299 kcal per 100 g becomes 54 kcal at 18 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 medium or regular slice 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: 2707605

FNDDS food code: 51105040

The scaling for FDC 2707605 can be exact while the match to “Bread, Cuban, toasted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 18 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
