The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 188 calories for 1 sandwich at 90 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 209 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 13.5 g protein, 3.2 g fiber, and 348 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared, representing 55.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 sandwich 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 2707025: “Fish sandwich, from school cafeteria.” 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 2707025, 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.

The comparison set contains 19 exact records in the Seafood sandwiches USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707025’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707025’s 90 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Magnesium; 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.

Strength-side signals

Magnesium49 mg

≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Dietary fiber3.2 g

≈ 11% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium348 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Fish sandwich, from school cafeteria,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707031 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 90 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 67.5–112.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 141 kcal and 235 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707031

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.7 g more dietary fiber than “Fish sandwich, grilled.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared supplies 55.6% 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 “from school cafeteria” fits. Inspect FDC 2707031 when “grilled” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707025, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Seafood sandwiches” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 29 more calories, 6.2 g more carbohydrate, and 1.1 g more total fat than “Fish sandwich, grilled.”

Only this record lists Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared; Fish, haddock, baked or broiled, coated. Only the comparison record lists Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Fish, haddock, grilled. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

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.

Listed only in this record: Bread, whole-wheat, commercially prepared; Fish, haddock, baked or broiled, coated.

Listed only in the comparison: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Fish, haddock, grilled.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 90 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (90 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 130 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular sandwich (130 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707025 with FDC 2707031 at equal mass; use their 90 g and 130 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707025 versus FDC 2707031 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 “Fish sandwich, from school cafeteria,” 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 2707025 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 209 kcal per 100 g becomes 188 kcal at 90 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 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: 2707025

FNDDS food code: 27550200

The scaling for FDC 2707025 can be exact while the match to “Fish sandwich, from school cafeteria” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 90 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
