The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 119 calories for 1 medium or regular slice at 40 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 297 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 4.6 g protein, 1.5 g fiber, and 254 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery, 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 13–149 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 2707723: “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery, 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 2707723, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cubic inch” through “1 large or thick slice” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707722 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 cubic inch to 1 large or thick slice

    USDA assigns those measures 4.3 g and 50 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 13 kcal to 149 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707722

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 26 kcal more calories than “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery

    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 “wheat or cracked wheat; made from home recipe or purchased at bakery; toasted” fits. Inspect FDC 2707722 when “wheat or cracked wheat; made from home recipe or purchased at bakery” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery, 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 2707723 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 297 kcal per 100 g becomes 119 kcal at 40 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: 2707723

FNDDS food code: 51301050

The scaling for FDC 2707723 can be exact while the match to “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, made from home recipe or purchased at bakery, toasted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 40 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
