Quesadilla, egg calories: 174 per 1 half circle (70 g)
This exact USDA record reports 174 calories for 1 half circle (70 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 174 calories for 1 half circle at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 249 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 7.6 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 329 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil, representing 61.1% 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 half circle 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 87–349 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 2708597: “Quesadilla, egg.” 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 2708597, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 triangular piece” through “1 full circle” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 triangular pieceUSDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 87 kcal | 3.8 g | 0.5 g | 165 mg |
| 1 half circleUSDA-listed household measure | 70 g | 174 kcal | 7.6 g | 1 g | 329 mg |
| 1 full circleUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 349 kcal | 15.3 g | 2 g | 658 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 46 exact records in the Egg/breakfast sandwiches USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708597’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708597’s 70 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Quesadilla, egg,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708598 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 triangular piece to 1 full circle
USDA assigns those measures 35 g and 140 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 87 kcal to 349 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708598
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.1 g more dietary fiber than “Quesadilla, egg, with meat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil supplies 61.1% 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” fits. Inspect FDC 2708598 when “egg; with meat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Only the comparison record lists Breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
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: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated; Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil.
Listed only in the comparison: Breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 half circle (70 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 half circle (70 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708597 with FDC 2708598 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 70 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708597 versus FDC 2708598 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 item size, bread or wrapper size, fillings, sauces and cheese.
For “Quesadilla, egg,” 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
bread or wrapper size
Resolve bread or wrapper size only when the meal or its source gives you evidence. If it is unknown, leave the uncertainty visible instead of choosing the most convenient variant.
- 03
fillings
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
sauces and cheese
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 2708597 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 249 kcal per 100 g becomes 174 kcal at 70 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 half circle 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: 2708597
FNDDS food code: 58104780
The scaling for FDC 2708597 can be exact while the match to “Quesadilla, egg” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
