Hamburger (Burger King) calories: 254 per 1 hamburger (100 g)
This exact USDA record reports 254 calories for 1 hamburger (100 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 254 calories for 1 hamburger at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 254 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13.6 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 400 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain, representing 48.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 hamburger 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 2706922: “Hamburger (Burger King).” 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 2706922, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 75 g | 191 kcal | 10.2 g | 0.8 g | 300 mg |
| 1 hamburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 100 g | 254 kcal | 13.6 g | 1.1 g | 400 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 125 g | 318 kcal | 17 g | 1.4 g | 500 mg |

The comparison set contains 47 exact records in the Burgers USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706922’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 2706922’s 100 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
Iron3 mg
≈ 15% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Calcium80 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Hamburger (Burger King),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706890 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 100 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 75–125 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 191 kcal and 318 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706890
At an equal 100 g, this record has 127 mg less sodium than “Cheeseburger (Burger King).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain supplies 48.6% 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 the exact wording “Hamburger (Burger King)” fits. Inspect FDC 2706890 when the exact wording “Cheeseburger (Burger King)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled; Catsup; Mustard, prepared, yellow; and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese, American.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 hamburger (100 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cheeseburger (110 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706922 with FDC 2706890 at equal mass; use their 100 g and 110 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706922 versus FDC 2706890 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 “Hamburger (Burger King),” 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 2706922 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 254 kcal per 100 g becomes 254 kcal at 100 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 hamburger 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: 2706922
FNDDS food code: 27510551
The scaling for FDC 2706922 can be exact while the match to “Hamburger (Burger King)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
