The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 132 calories for 1 muffin at 58 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 227 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 5.1 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 247 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is muffins, english, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough), representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 muffin 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 102–209 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 2707698: “Muffin, English.” 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 2707698, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 crumpet” through “1 sandwich size muffin” 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 2707698’s 58 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 “Muffin, English,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the absence of a qualifying close alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 crumpet to 1 sandwich size muffin

    USDA assigns those measures 45 g and 92 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 102 kcal to 209 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record identity: FDC 2707698

    No second entry passed the close-record rule for this page. Keep the exact USDA description “Muffin, English” attached to any value copied from this profile.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough)

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Use this profile only when “Muffin, English” is the closest available description and the 58 g reference can be scaled to the amount you mean.

How to compare FDC 2707698: its source amount is 58 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

Nutrient signals in the source amount

For FDC 2707698, Iron is the largest displayed non-protein Daily Value signal. Read the set as label context—not a personalized score.

Iron

246.5 mg≈ 11% Daily Value

The percentages above apply to FDC 2707698’s 58 g reference amount. FDA Daily Values are general label references, not individualized energy or medical targets. Read the FDA explanation ↗

Why FDC 2707698 has no protein percentage here: Feast reports 5.1 g, but does not present grams divided by 50 as FDA protein %DV; applicable label rules account for protein quality and regulatory context.

Source-serving signals

What stands out in this record

These 1 calculated observation describe FDC 2707698 at 58 g—not a measured or recommended plate.

  • The representative USDA portion contains 247 mg sodium, about 11% of the Daily Value used on U.S. labels.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707698 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Muffin, English” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough) is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

1 Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough)USDA ingredient 18258 · encyclopedia page available 100 GM 100 g 100%

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707698, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Bagels and English muffins” 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.

No forced match

This record does not have a sufficiently close direct comparator in the published corpus.

No other published “Bagels and English muffins” entry shares enough description or exact source-input evidence with FDC 2707698 to clear Feast’s close-record rule. A broad category neighbor would look relevant without establishing a defensible pair.

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, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.

For “Muffin, English,” 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

    recipe or brand

    Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.

  3. 03

    moisture and density

    Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.

  4. 04

    spreads or toppings

    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 2707698 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 227 kcal per 100 g becomes 132 kcal at 58 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 muffin 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: 2707698

FNDDS food code: 51186010

The scaling for FDC 2707698 can be exact while the match to “Muffin, English” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 58 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
