The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 491 calories for 1 medium at 267 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 184 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 14.6 g protein, 5.9 g fiber, and 881 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is dosa, plain, representing 70% 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 medium 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 6–962 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 2709129: “Dosa, with filling.” 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 2709129, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 surface inch” through “1 large” 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 2709129’s 267 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.

Strength-side signals

Iron5 mg

≈ 28% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Dietary fiber5.9 g

≈ 21% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium881 mg

≈ 38% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat1.6 g

≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Dosa, with filling,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 surface inch to 1 large

    USDA assigns those measures 3.4 g and 523 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 6 kcal to 962 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record identity: FDC 2709129

    No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Dosa, with filling” attached to any value copied from this profile.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Dosa, plain

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Dosa, plain supplies 70% 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

Use this profile only when “Dosa, with filling” is the closest available description and the 267 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

The percentages above apply to FDC 2709129’s 267 g reference amount. FDA Daily Values are general label references, not individualized energy or medical targets. Read the FDA explanation ↗

Why FDC 2709129 has no protein percentage here: Feast reports 14.6 g, but does not present grams divided by 50 as FDA protein %DV; applicable label rules account for protein quality and regulatory context.

Source-serving signals

What stands out in this record

These 2 calculated observations describe FDC 2709129 at 267 g—not a measured or recommended plate.

  • The representative USDA portion supplies 5.9 g dietary fiber, about 21% of the Daily Value used on U.S. labels.
  • The representative USDA portion contains 881 mg sodium, about 38% of the Daily Value used on U.S. labels.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2709129 to 2 source inputs totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Dosa, with filling” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

2 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Dosa, plain, Pakora. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

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 2709129, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pancakes, waffles, French toast” 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.

No forced match

This record does not have a sufficiently close direct comparator in the published corpus.

No other published “Pancakes, waffles, French toast” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2709129 to clear Feast’s close-record rule. A broad category neighbor would look relevant without establishing a defensible pair.

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 portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat, toppings and add-ins.

For “Dosa, with filling,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    portion 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

    cooking fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  4. 04

    toppings and add-ins

    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 2709129 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 184 kcal per 100 g becomes 491 kcal at 267 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 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: 2709129

FNDDS food code: 58174100

The scaling for FDC 2709129 can be exact while the match to “Dosa, with filling” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 267 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
