Garlic bread, from frozen calories: 259 per 1 medium slice (74 g)
This exact USDA record reports 259 calories for 1 medium slice (74 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 259 calories for 1 medium slice at 74 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 350 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.2 g protein, 1.9 g fiber, and 403 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is garlic bread, frozen, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 medium slice 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 130–1,316 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 2707628: “Garlic bread, from frozen.” 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 2707628, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 small slice” through “1 baguette (about 22" long)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 small sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 37 g | 130 kcal | 3.1 g | 0.9 g | 201 mg |
| 1 medium sliceUSDA-listed household measure | 74 g | 259 kcal | 6.2 g | 1.9 g | 403 mg |
| 1 baguette (about 22" long)USDA-listed household measure | 376 g | 1,316 kcal | 31.4 g | 9.4 g | 2,045 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707628’s 74 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.
Strength-side signals
Iron2 mg
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber1.9 g
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat3.9 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Garlic bread, from frozen,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707630 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 small slice to 1 baguette (about 22" long)
USDA assigns those measures 37 g and 376 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 130 kcal to 1,316 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707630
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.4 g less protein than “Garlic bread, with parmesan cheese, from frozen.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Garlic bread, frozen
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “from frozen” fits. Inspect FDC 2707630 when “with parmesan cheese; from frozen” 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.
Only the comparison record lists Cheese, parmesan, grated. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Garlic bread, frozen.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese, parmesan, grated.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 74 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium slice (74 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 79 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium slice (79 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707628 with FDC 2707630 at equal mass; use their 74 g and 79 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707628 versus FDC 2707630 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, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Garlic bread, from frozen,” 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
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
moisture and density
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 04
spreads or toppings
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 2707628 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 350 kcal per 100 g becomes 259 kcal at 74 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 medium slice 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: 2707628
FNDDS food code: 51121035
The scaling for FDC 2707628 can be exact while the match to “Garlic bread, from frozen” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 74 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
