Pastry, egg and cheese filled calories: 349 per 100 g

This exact USDA record reports 349 calories for 100 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 349 calories for USDA reference amount at 100 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 349 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, 1.6 g fiber, and 216 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached, representing 48.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 kolache answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 349–496 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 2708727: “Pastry, egg and cheese filled.” 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 2708727, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 kolache” 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 2708727’s 100 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

Iron3 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Pastry, egg and cheese filled,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708733 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 100 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 75–125 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 262 kcal and 436 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2708733

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 30.1 g more carbohydrate than “Cheese quiche, meatless.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached

    The source formulation has 9 input rows; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached supplies 48.1% 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 “egg and cheese filled” fits. Inspect FDC 2708733 when “meatless” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2708727, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Turnovers and other grain-based items” 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.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 3.5 g less protein, 30.1 g more carbohydrate, and 13.5 g less total fat than “Cheese quiche, meatless.”

Only this record lists Milk, NFS; Butter, stick, salted; Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry; Sugars, granulated. Only the comparison record lists Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked; Cheese, swiss; Cream, heavy; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

5 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: Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Milk, NFS; Butter, stick, salted; Leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry; Sugars, granulated; and 4 more.

Listed only in the comparison: Pie crust, standard-type, frozen, ready-to-bake, enriched, baked; Cheese, swiss; Cream, heavy; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; and 3 more.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 100 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 kolache (142 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 113 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 individual quiche (113 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708727 with FDC 2708733 at equal mass; use their 100 g and 113 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2708727 versus FDC 2708733 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 piece or portion size, recipe or brand, fillings or frosting, added fats and sugars.

For “Pastry, egg and cheese filled,” resolve piece or portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    piece or portion 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

    fillings or frosting

    Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.

  4. 04

    added fats and sugars

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2708727 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 349 kcal per 100 g becomes 349 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2708727

FNDDS food code: 58124220

The scaling for FDC 2708727 can be exact while the match to “Pastry, egg and cheese filled” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 100 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
