The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 75 calories for 1 medium or regular slice at 25 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 301 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 2.9 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 124 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, 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 9–117 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 2707721: “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, 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 2707721, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707721’s 25 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, toasted,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707720 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

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

    USDA assigns those measures 2.9 g and 39 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 9 kcal to 117 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707720

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

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bread, wheat

    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; toasted” fits. Inspect FDC 2707720 when “wheat or cracked wheat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Nutrient signals in the source amount

For FDC 2707721, Iron is the largest displayed non-protein Daily Value signal. Read the set as label context—not a personalized score.

The percentages above apply to FDC 2707721’s 25 g reference amount. FDA Daily Values are general label references, not individualized energy or medical targets. Read the FDA explanation ↗

Why FDC 2707721 has no protein percentage here: Feast reports 2.9 g, but does not present grams divided by 50 as FDA protein %DV; applicable label rules account for protein quality and regulatory context.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707721 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, toasted” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Bread, wheat is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

USDA source inputs listed for this exact survey-food record
#USDA inputListed amountInput weightShare of listed input weight

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707721, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Yeast breads” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 27 more calories than “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat.”

1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

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, wheat.

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 25 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium or regular slice (25 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 28 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium or regular slice (28 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707721 with FDC 2707720 at equal mass; use their 25 g and 28 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707721 versus FDC 2707720 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, wheat or cracked wheat, 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 2707721 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 301 kcal per 100 g becomes 75 kcal at 25 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: 2707721

FNDDS food code: 51301020

The scaling for FDC 2707721 can be exact while the match to “Bread, wheat or cracked wheat, toasted” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 25 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
