The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 197 calories for 1 small/regular taquito at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 281 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.9 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 389 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated, representing 58.4% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 small/regular taquito 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 98–337 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 2708602: “Taquito, 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 2708602, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 miniature taquito” through “1 cup” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 miniature taquitoUSDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 98 kcal | 3.5 g | 0.7 g | 194 mg |
| 1 small/regular taquitoUSDA-listed household measure | 70 g | 197 kcal | 6.9 g | 1.4 g | 389 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 120 g | 337 kcal | 11.9 g | 2.4 g | 666 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708602’s 70 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 “Taquito, egg,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707343 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 miniature taquito to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 35 g and 120 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 98 kcal to 337 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707343
At an equal 100 g, this record has 9.1 g more carbohydrate than “Egg burrito.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated
The source formulation has 4 input rows; Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated supplies 58.4% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 32 more calories, 9.1 g more carbohydrate, and 0.6 g more dietary fiber than “Egg burrito.”
Only this record lists Egg omelet or scrambled egg, made with oil; Breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet; Vegetable oil, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil.

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: Tortillas, ready-to-bake or -fry, flour, refrigerated.
Listed only in this record: Egg omelet or scrambled egg, made with oil; Breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet; Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in the comparison: Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, made with oil.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small/regular taquito (70 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 180 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 item, any size (180 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2708602 with FDC 2707343 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 180 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2708602 versus FDC 2707343 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 “Taquito, 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 2708602 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 281 kcal per 100 g becomes 197 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 small/regular taquito 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: 2708602
FNDDS food code: 58104900
The scaling for FDC 2708602 can be exact while the match to “Taquito, egg” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
