Bruschetta calories: 74 per 1 slice (43 g)
This exact USDA record reports 74 calories for 1 slice (43 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 74 calories for 1 slice at 43 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 171 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 1.8 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 114 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average, representing 56.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 7 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 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 24–101 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 2707652: “Bruschetta.” 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 2707652, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice, snack-size” through “1 large or thick slice” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 slice, snack-sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 14 g | 24 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.2 g | 37 mg |
| 1 sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 43 g | 74 kcal | 1.8 g | 0.6 g | 114 mg |
| 1 large or thick sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 59 g | 101 kcal | 2.5 g | 0.9 g | 156 mg |

The comparison set contains 11 exact records in the Vegetable sandwiches/burgers USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707652’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707652’s 43 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
Sodium114 mg
≈ 5% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.5 g
≈ 3% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Bruschetta,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2709761 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 slice, snack-size to 1 large or thick slice
USDA assigns those measures 14 g and 59 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 24 kcal to 101 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2709761
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.2 g less protein than “Tomato sandwich on white.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average
The source formulation has 7 input rows; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average supplies 56.4% 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 the exact wording “Bruschetta” fits. Inspect FDC 2709761 when the exact wording “Tomato sandwich on white” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 30 less calories, 4.2 g less protein, and 5.2 g less carbohydrate than “Tomato sandwich on white.”
Only this record lists Bread, Italian, Grecian, Armenian, toasted; Garlic, raw; Olive oil; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average. Only the comparison record lists Bread, white, commercially prepared; Tomatoes, for use on a sandwich; Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 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: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Bread, Italian, Grecian, Armenian, toasted; Garlic, raw; Olive oil; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Bread, white, commercially prepared; Tomatoes, for use on a sandwich; Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 43 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 slice (43 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 120 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (120 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707652 with FDC 2709761 at equal mass; use their 43 g and 120 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707652 versus FDC 2709761 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 “Bruschetta,” 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 2707652 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 171 kcal per 100 g becomes 74 kcal at 43 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 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: 2707652
FNDDS food code: 51136000
The scaling for FDC 2707652 can be exact while the match to “Bruschetta” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 43 g weight, 7-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
