The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 306 calories for 1 regular sandwich at 130 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 235 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 18.9 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 601 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fish fillet, fried as ingredient in sandwiches, representing 57.1% 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 regular sandwich 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 153–611 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 2707020: “Fish sandwich, fried, from fast food.” 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 2707020, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature/slider” through “1 large sandwich” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 miniature/sliderUSDA-listed household measure | 65 g | 153 kcal | 9.4 g | 0.6 g | 300 mg |
| 1 regular sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 130 g | 306 kcal | 18.9 g | 1.2 g | 601 mg |
| 1 large sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 260 g | 611 kcal | 37.7 g | 2.3 g | 1,201 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707020’s 130 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Fish sandwich, fried, from fast food,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707021 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 miniature/slider to 1 large sandwich
USDA assigns those measures 65 g and 260 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 153 kcal to 611 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707021
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.9 g less total fat than “Fish sandwich, fried, from fast food, with cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Fish fillet, fried as ingredient in sandwiches
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Fish fillet, fried as ingredient in sandwiches supplies 57.1% 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 “fried; from fast food” fits. Inspect FDC 2707021 when “fried; from fast food; with cheese” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

4 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; Fish fillet, fried as ingredient in sandwiches; Salt, table; Industrial oil as ingredient in food.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 130 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular sandwich (130 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 151 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular sandwich (151 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707020 with FDC 2707021 at equal mass; use their 130 g and 151 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707020 versus FDC 2707021 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 restaurant formulation and serving size, amount of absorbed frying fat, item size, bread or wrapper size.
For “Fish sandwich, fried, from fast food,” 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
amount of absorbed frying 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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707020 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 235 kcal per 100 g becomes 306 kcal at 130 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 sandwich 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: 2707020
FNDDS food code: 27550000
The scaling for FDC 2707020 can be exact while the match to “Fish sandwich, fried, from fast food” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 130 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
