Pretzels, soft, gluten free calories: 282 per 1 medium/regular (95 g)
This exact USDA record reports 282 calories for 1 medium/regular (95 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 282 calories for 1 medium/regular at 95 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 297 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 3.8 g protein, 3.8 g fiber, and 797 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca, representing 65% 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 medium/regular 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 42–437 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 2708287: “Pretzels, soft, gluten free.” 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 2708287, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 bite size/nugget” through “1 cup, nuggets” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bite size/nuggetUSDA-listed household measure | 14 g | 42 kcal | 0.6 g | 0.6 g | 117 mg |
| 1 medium/regularUSDA-listed household measure | 95 g | 282 kcal | 3.8 g | 3.8 g | 797 mg |
| 1 cup, nuggetsUSDA-listed household measure | 147 g | 437 kcal | 5.9 g | 5.9 g | 1,233 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708287’s 95 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Dietary fiber; 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 “Pretzels, soft, gluten free,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708289 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 bite size/nugget to 1 cup, nuggets
USDA assigns those measures 14 g and 147 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 42 kcal to 437 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708289
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.7 g less total fat than “Pretzels, soft, gluten free, coated or flavored.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bread, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Bread, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca supplies 65% 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 “soft; gluten free” fits. Inspect FDC 2708289 when “soft; gluten free; coated or flavored” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708287, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pretzels/snack mix” 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 29 less calories and 4.7 g less total fat than “Pretzels, soft, gluten free, coated or flavored.”
Only the comparison record lists Cheese, parmesan, grated; Butter oil, anhydrous. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
2 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, gluten-free, white, made with rice flour, corn starch, and/or tapioca; Snacks, Pretzels, gluten- free made with cornstarch and potato flour.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese, parmesan, grated; Butter oil, anhydrous.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 95 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium/regular (95 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 95 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium/regular (95 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708287 with FDC 2708289 at equal mass; use their 95 g and 95 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708287 versus FDC 2708289 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 “Pretzels, soft, gluten free,” 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.
- 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.
- 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
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.
- 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 2708287 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 297 kcal per 100 g becomes 282 kcal at 95 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/regular 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: 2708287
FNDDS food code: 54408485
The scaling for FDC 2708287 can be exact while the match to “Pretzels, soft, gluten free” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 95 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
