The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 610 calories for 1 hamburger at 270 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 226 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 30.5 g protein, 4.1 g fiber, and 923 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is fast foods, hamburger; single, large patty; with condiments, vegetables and mayonnaise, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 hamburger 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 2706931: “Whopper (Burger King).” 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 2706931, 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 | 202.5 g | 458 kcal | 22.9 g | 3 g | 693 mg |
| 1 hamburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 270 g | 610 kcal | 30.5 g | 4.1 g | 923 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 337.5 g | 763 kcal | 38.1 g | 5.1 g | 1,154 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 47 exact records in the Burgers USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706931’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706931’s 270 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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.
Iron8 mg
≈ 45% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Dietary fiber4.1 g
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat10.7 g
≈ 54% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium923 mg
≈ 40% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Whopper (Burger King),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706923 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 202.5–337.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 458 kcal and 763 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.5 g more dietary fiber than “Whopper Jr (Burger King).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when the exact wording “Whopper (Burger King)” fits. Inspect FDC 2706923 when the exact wording “Whopper Jr (Burger King)” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

For FDC 2706931, approximate percentages divide the displayed 270 g amount by FDA label Daily Values; they are not personalized targets. “Not established” means FDA sets no Daily Value for that row. Protein %DV remains unshown because adult-label use depends on regulatory context.
Inside the source record
USDA links FDC 2706931 to one source input totaling 100 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Whopper (Burger King)” inspectable beside similarly named records.
How to read this
Fast foods, hamburger; single, large patty; with condiments, vegetables and mayonnaise is the only listed source input for this record. That does not mean every real-world version is identical; brands, preparation, water content, and portion weight can still differ.
100 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 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.
Listed only in this record: Fast foods, hamburger; single, large patty; with condiments, vegetables and mayonnaise.
Listed only in the comparison: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled; Sauce as ingredient in hamburgers; Lettuce, iceberg, raw; and 2 more.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 270 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 hamburger (270 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 135 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 hamburger (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706931 with FDC 2706923 at equal mass; use their 270 g and 135 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706931 versus FDC 2706923 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 “Whopper (Burger King),” 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 2706931 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 226 kcal per 100 g becomes 610 kcal at 270 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 hamburger 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: 2706931
FNDDS food code: 27510615
The scaling for FDC 2706931 can be exact while the match to “Whopper (Burger King)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 270 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
