The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 506 calories for 1 hamburger at 175 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 289 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 32.2 g protein, 1.1 g fiber, and 614 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled, representing 65.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 2706934: “Hamburger, on white bun, 1 large patty.” 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 2706934, 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.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706934’s 175 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

≈ 27% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Potassium422 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Hamburger, on white bun, 1 large patty,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706930 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 175 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 131.3–218.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 379 kcal and 632 kcal.

  2. 02

    Source identity: FDC 2706934 versus 2706930

    The closest published neighbor currently carries the same nutrient, portion, and source-input evidence. The FDC IDs still identify separate source records, so the exact citation remains the deciding field.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled

    The source formulation has 3 input rows; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled supplies 65.5% 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

The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2706934 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706934 to 3 source inputs totaling 175.6 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Hamburger, on white bun, 1 large patty” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled, Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain, Salt, table. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

175.6 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706934, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Burgers” 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.

Source-equivalent fields

Different source identities, matching published reference fields

Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2706934 and FDC 2706930 match exactly. Their descriptions and source identities remain distinct provenance; matching database fields do not make every real-world version interchangeable.

Practical reading: do not infer a nutrient difference from the names alone. Choose the description that more closely matches what was reported, while treating the shared values as a standardized reference rather than a measurement of your plate.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706934 versus FDC 2706930 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, on white bun, 1 large patty,” 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 2706934 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 289 kcal per 100 g becomes 506 kcal at 175 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: 2706934

FNDDS food code: 27510635

The scaling for FDC 2706934 can be exact while the match to “Hamburger, on white bun, 1 large patty” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 175 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
