The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 286 calories for 1 regular at 115 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 20.6 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 473 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is bread, white, commercially prepared, 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 149–436 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 2706958: “Steak sandwich or sub on white.” 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 2706958, 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 | 149 kcal | 10.7 g | 0.7 g | 247 mg |
| 1 regularUSDA-listed household measure | 115 g | 286 kcal | 20.6 g | 1.4 g | 473 mg |
| 1 largeUSDA-listed household measure | 175 g | 436 kcal | 31.3 g | 2.1 g | 719 mg |

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Steak sandwich or sub on white,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706960 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 149 kcal to 436 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706960
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.9 g less total fat than “Cheese steak sandwich or sub on white.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Bread, white, commercially prepared
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Bread, white, commercially prepared supplies 51.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

4 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: Bread, white, commercially prepared; 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 2706958 with FDC 2706960 at equal mass; use their 115 g and 145 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706958 versus FDC 2706960 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 white,” 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 2706958 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 249 kcal per 100 g becomes 286 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: 2706958
FNDDS food code: 27514010
The scaling for FDC 2706958 can be exact while the match to “Steak sandwich or sub on white” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 115 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
