The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 802 calories for 1 burger at 270 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 54 g protein, 3.2 g fiber, and 1,156 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 62.3% 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 2706908: “Double cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 2 medium 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 2706908, 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 | 202.5 g | 601 kcal | 40.5 g | 2.4 g | 867 mg |
| 1 double cheeseburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 270 g | 802 kcal | 54 g | 3.2 g | 1,156 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 337.5 g | 1,002 kcal | 67.5 g | 4.1 g | 1,445 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Double cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 2 medium patties,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706906 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 270 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 202.5–337.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 601 kcal and 1,002 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706906
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.2 g less dietary fiber than “Double cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 2 small 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 62.3% 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 “on wheat bun; 2 medium patties” fits. Inspect FDC 2706906 when “on wheat bun; 2 small patties” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
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: Wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled; Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches; Salt, table.
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 270 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 burger (270 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 205 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 burger (205 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706908 with FDC 2706906 at equal mass; use their 270 g and 205 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706908 versus FDC 2706906 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, on wheat bun, 2 medium patties,” 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 2706908 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 297 kcal per 100 g becomes 802 kcal at 270 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: 2706908
FNDDS food code: 27510258
The scaling for FDC 2706908 can be exact while the match to “Double cheeseburger, on wheat bun, 2 medium patties” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 270 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
