The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 606 calories for 1 sandwich at 215 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 282 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.5 g protein, 4.7 g fiber, and 1,479 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, rye, representing 27.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 sandwich at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706952: “Reuben sandwich.” 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 2706952, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 161.3 g | 455 kcal | 16.1 g | 3.5 g | 1,109 mg |
| 1 sandwich, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 215 g | 606 kcal | 21.5 g | 4.7 g | 1,479 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 268.8 g | 758 kcal | 26.9 g | 5.9 g | 1,849 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706952’s 215 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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Reuben sandwich,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707055 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 215 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 161.3–268.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 455 kcal and 758 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707055
At an equal 100 g, this record has 1.1 g more dietary fiber than “Spam sandwich.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bread, rye
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Bread, rye supplies 27.8% 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 the exact wording “Reuben sandwich” fits. Inspect FDC 2707055 when the exact wording “Spam sandwich” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2706952, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Deli and cured meat sandwiches” 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 16 more calories, 11.2 g less carbohydrate, and 6.6 g more total fat than “Spam sandwich.”
Only this record lists Bread, rye; Cheese, swiss; Beef, cured, corned beef, brisket, cooked; Sauerkraut, canned, solids and liquids. Only the comparison record lists Bread, white, commercially prepared; Luncheon meat, pork with ham, minced, canned, includes Spam (Hormel); Catsup. 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.
Listed only in this record: Bread, rye; Cheese, swiss; Beef, cured, corned beef, brisket, cooked; Sauerkraut, canned, solids and liquids; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Bread, white, commercially prepared; Luncheon meat, pork with ham, minced, canned, includes Spam (Hormel); Catsup.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 215 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (215 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 135 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706952 with FDC 2707055 at equal mass; use their 215 g and 135 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706952 versus FDC 2707055 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 “Reuben sandwich,” 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 2706952 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 282 kcal per 100 g becomes 606 kcal at 215 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 sandwich 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: 2706952
FNDDS food code: 27510950
The scaling for FDC 2706952 can be exact while the match to “Reuben sandwich” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 215 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
