Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, coated or flavored calories: 456 per 1 medium/regular (125 g)
This exact USDA record reports 456 calories for 1 medium/regular (125 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 456 calories for 1 medium/regular at 125 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 365 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 9.9 g protein, 2 g fiber, and 1,120 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pretzels, soft, unsalted, representing 92.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 51–613 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 2708274: “Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, coated or flavored.” 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 2708274, 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 | 51 kcal | 1.1 g | 0.2 g | 125 mg |
| 1 medium/regularUSDA-listed household measure | 125 g | 456 kcal | 9.9 g | 2 g | 1,120 mg |
| 1 cup, nuggetsUSDA-listed household measure | 168 g | 613 kcal | 13.3 g | 2.7 g | 1,505 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708274’s 125 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.
Strength-side signals
Iron5 mg
≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber2 g

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, coated or flavored,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708273 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 168 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 51 kcal to 613 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708273
At an equal 100 g, this record has 648 mg more sodium than “Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, cinnamon sugar coated.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pretzels, soft, unsalted
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Pretzels, soft, unsalted supplies 92.8% 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; ready-to-eat; coated or flavored” fits. Inspect FDC 2708273 when “soft; ready-to-eat; cinnamon sugar coated” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 1.7 g more protein, 8 g less carbohydrate, and 1.6 g more total fat than “Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, cinnamon sugar coated.”
Only this record lists Cheese, parmesan, grated. Only the comparison record lists Sugar, cinnamon. 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: Pretzels, soft, unsalted; Butter oil, anhydrous; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Cheese, parmesan, grated.
Listed only in the comparison: Sugar, cinnamon.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 125 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium/regular (125 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 147 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium/regular (147 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708274 with FDC 2708273 at equal mass; use their 125 g and 147 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708274 versus FDC 2708273 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, ready-to-eat, coated or flavored,” 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 2708274 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 365 kcal per 100 g becomes 456 kcal at 125 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: 2708274
FNDDS food code: 54408422
The scaling for FDC 2708274 can be exact while the match to “Pretzels, soft, ready-to-eat, coated or flavored” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 125 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
