The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 267 calories for 1 sandwich at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 267 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 5.7 g protein, 1.8 g fiber, and 282 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, white, commercially prepared, representing 60% 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.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 134–267 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 2709138: “Jelly sandwich, on white bread.” 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 2709138, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 sandwich (1 slice bread)” through “1 sandwich” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 sandwich (1 slice bread)USDA-listed household measure | 50 g | 134 kcal | 2.9 g | 0.9 g | 141 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 75 g | 200 kcal | 4.3 g | 1.4 g | 212 mg |
| 1 sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 100 g | 267 kcal | 5.7 g | 1.8 g | 282 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Jelly sandwich, on white bread,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707555 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 sandwich (1 slice bread) to 1 sandwich
USDA assigns those measures 50 g and 100 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 134 kcal to 267 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707555
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14.4 g less total fat than “Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with regular peanut butter, regular jelly, on white bread.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bread, white, commercially prepared
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Bread, white, commercially prepared supplies 60% 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 “on white bread” fits. Inspect FDC 2707555 when “with regular peanut butter; regular jelly; on white bread” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 94 less calories, 5.7 g less protein, and 12.3 g more carbohydrate than “Peanut butter and jelly sandwich, with regular peanut butter, regular jelly, on white bread.”
Only the comparison record lists Peanut butter, smooth style, with salt (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program). Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
6 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
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: Bread, white, commercially prepared; Jellies.
Listed only in the comparison: Peanut butter, smooth style, with salt (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program).
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (100 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 112 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (112 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2709138 with FDC 2707555 at equal mass; use their 100 g and 112 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2709138 versus FDC 2707555 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 “Jelly sandwich, on white bread,” 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 2709138 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 267 kcal per 100 g becomes 267 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 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: 2709138
FNDDS food code: 58201005
The scaling for FDC 2709138 can be exact while the match to “Jelly sandwich, on white bread” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
