The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 242 calories for 1 sandwich at 102 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 237 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 13 g protein, 2.4 g fiber, and 549 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches, representing 44.1% 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 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 2707073: “Hot dog sandwich, reduced fat, 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 2707073, 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 | 181 kcal | 9.7 g | 1.8 g | 412 mg |
| 1 sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 102 g | 242 kcal | 13 g | 2.4 g | 549 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 127.5 g | 302 kcal | 16.2 g | 3.1 g | 686 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707073’s 102 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Hot dog sandwich, reduced fat, on wheat bun,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707072 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 181 kcal and 302 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707072
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.6 g more dietary fiber than “Hot dog sandwich, reduced fat, on white bun.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Wheat bun as ingredient in sandwiches supplies 44.1% 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 “reduced fat; on wheat bun” fits. Inspect FDC 2707072 when “reduced fat; on white 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, reduced fat, 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 2707073 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 237 kcal per 100 g becomes 242 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: 2707073
FNDDS food code: 27564301
The scaling for FDC 2707073 can be exact while the match to “Hot dog sandwich, reduced fat, on wheat bun” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 102 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
