Breadsticks, soft, frozen calories: 157 per 1 large stick (50 g)
This exact USDA record reports 157 calories for 1 large stick (50 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 157 calories for 1 large stick at 50 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 313 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.6 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 252 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast foods, breadstick, soft, prepared with garlic and parmesan cheese, representing 60% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 large stick 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 81–157 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 2707694: “Breadsticks, soft, frozen.” 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 2707694, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 small stick” through “1 large stick” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 small stickUSDA-listed household measure | 26 g | 81 kcal | 2.9 g | 0.6 g | 131 mg |
| 1 garlic knotUSDA-listed household measure | 34 g | 106 kcal | 3.8 g | 0.8 g | 171 mg |
| 1 large stickUSDA-listed household measure | 50 g | 157 kcal | 5.6 g | 1.2 g | 252 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707694’s 50 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 “Breadsticks, soft, frozen,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707693 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 small stick to 1 large stick
USDA assigns those measures 26 g and 50 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 81 kcal to 157 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707693
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.6 g less total fat than “Breadsticks, soft, fast food / restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fast foods, breadstick, soft, prepared with garlic and parmesan cheese
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Fast foods, breadstick, soft, prepared with garlic and parmesan cheese supplies 60% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “soft; frozen” fits. Inspect FDC 2707693 when “soft; fast food / restaurant” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 29 less calories, 3.6 g less total fat, and 112 mg less sodium than “Breadsticks, soft, fast food / restaurant.”
Only this record lists Bread, white, commercially prepared. Only the comparison record lists Salt, table. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear 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: Fast foods, breadstick, soft, prepared with garlic and parmesan cheese.
Listed only in this record: Bread, white, commercially prepared.
Listed only in the comparison: Salt, table.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 50 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large stick (50 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 50 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large stick (50 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707694 with FDC 2707693 at equal mass; use their 50 g and 50 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707694 versus FDC 2707693 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 “Breadsticks, soft, frozen,” 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 2707694 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 313 kcal per 100 g becomes 157 kcal at 50 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 large stick 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: 2707694
FNDDS food code: 51184220
The scaling for FDC 2707694 can be exact while the match to “Breadsticks, soft, frozen” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 50 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
