The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 284 calories for 1 regular at 115 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 247 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.7 g protein, 3.2 g fiber, and 467 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches, representing 51.7% 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 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 148–432 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 2706959: “Steak sandwich or sub on wheat.” 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 2706959, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature/slider” through “1 large” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 miniature/sliderUSDA-listed household measure | 60 g | 148 kcal | 11.3 g | 1.7 g | 244 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Steak sandwich or sub on wheat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706961 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 miniature/slider to 1 large
USDA assigns those measures 60 g and 175 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 148 kcal to 432 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706961
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.9 g less total fat than “Cheese steak sandwich or sub on wheat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches supplies 51.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

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: Wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches; Beef, steak, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 115 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular (115 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 145 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 regular (145 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706959 with FDC 2706961 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 145 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706959 versus FDC 2706961 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 “Steak sandwich or sub on wheat,” 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 2706959 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 247 kcal per 100 g becomes 284 kcal at 115 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 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: 2706959
FNDDS food code: 27514020
The scaling for FDC 2706959 can be exact while the match to “Steak sandwich or sub on wheat” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
