Muffin, oatmeal calories: 481 per 1 medium (130 g)
This exact USDA record reports 481 calories for 1 medium (130 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 481 calories for 1 medium at 130 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 370 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 8.4 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 525 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is milk, nfs, representing 29.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 medium 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 37–666 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 2707839: “Muffin, oatmeal.” 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 2707839, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 bite size” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bite sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 10 g | 37 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.2 g | 40 mg |
| 1 mediumUSDA-listed household measure | 130 g | 481 kcal | 8.4 g | 2 g | 525 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 180 g | 666 kcal | 11.6 g | 2.7 g | 727 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 34 exact records in the Biscuits, muffins, quick breads USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707839’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707839’s 130 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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, oatmeal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707841 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 bite size to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 10 g and 180 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 37 kcal to 666 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707841
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.7 g more dietary fiber than “Muffin, plain.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Milk, NFS
The source formulation has 8 input rows; Milk, NFS supplies 29.7% 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 “oatmeal” fits. Inspect FDC 2707841 when “plain” 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, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.
For “Muffin, oatmeal,” 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
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.
- 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.
- 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 2707839 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 370 kcal per 100 g becomes 481 kcal at 130 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 medium 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: 2707839
FNDDS food code: 52304100
The scaling for FDC 2707839 can be exact while the match to “Muffin, oatmeal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 130 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
