The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 296 calories for 1 sandwich at 102 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 290 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 11.8 g protein, 2.4 g fiber, and 670 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is frankfurter, beef, unheated, representing 55.9% 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 2707061: “Hot dog sandwich, beef, on wheat bun.” 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 2707061, 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 | 76.5 g | 222 kcal | 8.9 g | 1.8 g | 503 mg |
| 1 sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 102 g | 296 kcal | 11.8 g | 2.4 g | 670 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 127.5 g | 370 kcal | 14.8 g | 3.1 g | 838 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707061’s 102 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
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber2.4 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Hot dog sandwich, beef, on wheat bun,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707079 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 102 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 76.5–127.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 222 kcal and 370 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707079
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5.4 g more total fat than “Chili hot dog sandwich, on wheat bun.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Frankfurter, beef, unheated
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Frankfurter, beef, unheated supplies 55.9% 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 “beef; on wheat bun” fits. Inspect FDC 2707079 when “on wheat bun” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 “Hot dog sandwich, beef, on wheat bun,” 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 2707061 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 290 kcal per 100 g becomes 296 kcal at 102 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: 2707061
FNDDS food code: 27564061
The scaling for FDC 2707061 can be exact while the match to “Hot dog sandwich, beef, on wheat bun” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 102 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
