The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 311 calories for 1 regular at 135 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 230 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.8 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 599 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is muffins, english, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough), representing 44.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 regular 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 311–472 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707315: “Egg sandwich on English muffin.” 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
For FDC 2707315, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 large” 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 | 101.3 g | 233 kcal | 11.8 g | 1.5 g | 450 mg |
| 1 regularUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 311 kcal | 15.8 g | 2 g | 599 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 205 g | 472 kcal | 24 g | 3.1 g | 910 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 46 exact records in the Egg/breakfast sandwiches USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707315’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2707315’s 135 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.
Calcium309 mg
≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Iron3 mg
≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat6.3 g
≈ 31% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium599 mg
≈ 26% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Egg sandwich on English muffin,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707317 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 135 g and 205 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 311 kcal to 472 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 130 mg less sodium than “Egg sandwich on English muffin, with bacon.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough) supplies 44.1% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when the exact wording “Egg sandwich on English muffin” fits. Inspect FDC 2707317 when “with bacon” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Uncertainty, made actionable
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 “Egg sandwich on English muffin,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
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.
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
FDC 2707315 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 230 kcal per 100 g becomes 311 kcal at 135 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 regular has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
