The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 358 calories for 1 sandwich at 160 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 224 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.8 g protein, 5.6 g fiber, and 854 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared, representing 53.8% 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 sandwich at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707481: “Veggie burger, on bun.” 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 2707481, 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 | 120 g | 269 kcal | 15.6 g | 4.2 g | 641 mg |
| 1 sandwichUSDA-listed household measure | 160 g | 358 kcal | 20.8 g | 5.6 g | 854 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 200 g | 448 kcal | 26 g | 7 g | 1,068 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707481’s 160 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.
Strength-side signals
Iron5 mg
≈ 26% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber5.6 g
≈ 20% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals
Sodium854 mg
≈ 37% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat1.9 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Veggie burger, on bun,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707482 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 160 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 120–200 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 269 kcal and 448 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707482
At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.2 g less total fat than “Veggie burger, on bun, with cheese.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared supplies 53.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “on bun” fits. Inspect FDC 2707482 when “on bun; with cheese” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “on bun”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

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: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Veggie burgers or soyburgers, unprepared.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 160 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (160 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 181 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 sandwich (181 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707481 with FDC 2707482 at equal mass; use their 160 g and 181 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707481 versus FDC 2707482 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 “Veggie burger, on bun,” 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 2707481 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 224 kcal per 100 g becomes 358 kcal at 160 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
FoodData Central ID: 2707481
FNDDS food code: 41901010
The scaling for FDC 2707481 can be exact while the match to “Veggie burger, on bun” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 160 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
