The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 389 calories for 1 burger at 140 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 278 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 22.8 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 703 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled, representing 45.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 burger at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706913: “Double cheeseburger (Burger King).” 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 2706913, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” 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 2706913’s 140 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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

≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Iron3 mg

≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Double cheeseburger (Burger King),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706890 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 140 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 105–175 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 292 kcal and 487 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706890

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.8 g less carbohydrate than “Cheeseburger (Burger King).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled

    The source formulation has 6 input rows; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled supplies 45.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

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: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled; Cheese, American; Catsup; and 2 more.

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 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 burger (140 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cheeseburger (110 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706913 with FDC 2706890 at equal mass; use their 140 g and 110 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706913 versus FDC 2706890 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 “Double cheeseburger (Burger King),” 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

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706913 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 278 kcal per 100 g becomes 389 kcal at 140 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 burger 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: 2706913

FNDDS food code: 27510386

The scaling for FDC 2706913 can be exact while the match to “Double cheeseburger (Burger King)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 140 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
