The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 460 calories for 1 burger at 155 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 297 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 28.1 g protein, 0.9 g fiber, and 693 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 52.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 2706912: “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 small patties.” 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 2706912, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 116.3 g | 345 kcal | 21 g | 0.7 g | 520 mg |
| 1 double cheeseburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 155 g | 460 kcal | 28.1 g | 0.9 g | 693 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 193.8 g | 575 kcal | 35.1 g | 1.2 g | 866 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 small patties,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706917 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 155 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 116.3–193.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 345 kcal and 575 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706917
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.9 g more carbohydrate than “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 medium patties.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled supplies 52.2% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

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 restaurant formulation and serving size, item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings.
For “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 small patties,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
restaurant formulation and serving 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
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2706912 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 297 kcal per 100 g becomes 460 kcal at 155 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: 2706912
FNDDS food code: 27510371
The scaling for FDC 2706912 can be exact while the match to “Double cheeseburger, from fast food, 2 small patties” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 155 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
