The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 247 calories for 1 sandwich at 145 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 170 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.2 g protein, 3.2 g fiber, and 985 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 41.7% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707091: “Turkey and ham sandwich 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
For FDC 2707091, 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 | 108.8 g | 185 kcal | 15.1 g | 2.4 g | 738 mg |
| 1 sandwich, any sizeUSDA-listed household measure | 145 g | 247 kcal | 20.2 g | 3.2 g | 985 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 181.3 g | 308 kcal | 25.2 g | 4 g | 1,231 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 61 exact records in the Deli and cured meat sandwiches USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2707091’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2707091’s 145 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.
Iron2 mg
≈ 13% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium51 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Turkey and ham sandwich on wheat,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707092 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 108.8–181.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 185 kcal and 308 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.1 g less total fat than “Turkey and ham sandwich on wheat, with cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Wheat bread as ingredient in sandwiches supplies 41.7% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when the exact wording “Turkey and ham sandwich on wheat” fits. Inspect FDC 2707092 when “with cheese” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

2 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
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; Turkey breast, sliced, prepackaged; Ham, sliced, pre-packaged, deli meat (96%fat free, water added).
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 145 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (145 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 165 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (165 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707091 with FDC 2707092 at equal mass; use their 145 g and 165 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707091 versus FDC 2707092 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
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 “Turkey and ham sandwich 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.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
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.
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
FDC 2707091 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 170 kcal per 100 g becomes 247 kcal at 145 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
