The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 122 calories for 1 medium roll at 45 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 272 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 4.9 g protein, 1 g fiber, and 271 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough), representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 roll 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 92–155 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 2707665: “Roll, sour dough.” 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 2707665, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature/small roll” through “1 large roll” 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 2707665’s 45 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Roll, sour dough,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707661 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 miniature/small roll to 1 large roll

    USDA assigns those measures 34 g and 57 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 92 kcal to 155 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707661

    At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Roll, French or Vienna.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Single listed source: Bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough)

    USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.

05 · Exact-record choice

Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name

Keep this record when “sour dough” fits. Inspect FDC 2707661 when “French or Vienna” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

The percentages above apply to FDC 2707665’s 45 g reference amount. FDA Daily Values are general label references, not individualized energy or medical targets. Read the FDA explanation ↗

Why FDC 2707665 has no protein percentage here: Feast reports 4.9 g, but does not present grams divided by 50 as FDA protein %DV; applicable label rules account for protein quality and regulatory context.

Source-serving signals

What stands out in this record

These 1 calculated observation describe FDC 2707665 at 45 g—not a measured or recommended plate.

  • The representative USDA portion contains 271 mg sodium, about 12% of the Daily Value used on U.S. labels.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707665 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Roll, sour dough” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

A single-source formulation

Bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough) is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.

100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707665, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Rolls and buns” 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

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.

Formulation evidence

The listed formulations match

The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.

Shared listed inputs: Bread, french or vienna (includes sourdough).

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 45 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium roll (45 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 45 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium (45 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707665 with FDC 2707661 at equal mass; use their 45 g and 45 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707665 versus FDC 2707661 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, recipe or brand, moisture and density, spreads or toppings.

For “Roll, sour dough,” resolve item size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  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

    moisture and density

    Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.

  4. 04

    spreads or toppings

    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 2707665 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 272 kcal per 100 g becomes 122 kcal at 45 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 roll 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: 2707665

FNDDS food code: 51159000

The scaling for FDC 2707665 can be exact while the match to “Roll, sour dough” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 45 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
