The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 77 calories for USDA reference amount at 18 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 430 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 1.2 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 93 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is cookies, graham crackers, plain or honey (includes cinnamon), representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 large rectangular piece or 2 squares or 4 small rectangular pieces answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 13–366 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 2708133: “Graham crackers.” 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 2708133, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature/bite size” through “1 large single serving bag” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

The comparison set contains 83 exact records in the Cookies and brownies USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708133’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 2708133’s 18 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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

No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium93 mg

≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat0.3 g

≈ 1% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Graham crackers,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708134 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 miniature/bite size to 1 large single serving bag

    USDA assigns those measures 3 g and 85 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 13 kcal to 366 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708134

    At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Graham crackers (Teddy Grahams).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Cookies, graham crackers, plain or honey (includes cinnamon)

    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 the exact wording “Graham crackers” fits. Inspect FDC 2708134 when the exact wording “Graham crackers (Teddy Grahams)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2708133 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Graham crackers” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Cookies, graham crackers, plain or honey (includes cinnamon) is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708133, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Cookies and brownies” 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.

Exact nutrient values per 100 grams

Carbohydrate77.7 g77.7 gSame listed value
Total fat10.6 g10.6 gSame listed value
Dietary fiber3.4 g3.4 gSame listed value
Sodium516 mg516 mgSame listed value

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 match

The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.

Shared listed inputs: Cookies, graham crackers, plain or honey (includes cinnamon).

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 large rectangular piece or 2 squares or 4 small rectangular pieces (15 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 18 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small or medium single serving bag (45 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708133 with FDC 2708134 at equal mass; use their 18 g and 18 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708133 versus FDC 2708134 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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.

For “Graham crackers,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    piece or portion 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

    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.

  3. 03

    fillings or frosting

    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

    added fats and sugars

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2708133 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 430 kcal per 100 g becomes 77 kcal at 18 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2708133

FNDDS food code: 54102010

The scaling for FDC 2708133 can be exact while the match to “Graham crackers” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 18 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
