The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 292 calories for 1 hamburger at 135 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 216 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 14.4 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 425 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain, representing 38% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 hamburger 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 2706923: “Whopper Jr (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
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2706923, 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 | 101.3 g | 219 kcal | 10.8 g | 1 g | 319 mg |
| 1 hamburgerUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 292 kcal | 14.4 g | 1.4 g | 425 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 168.8 g | 365 kcal | 18.1 g | 1.7 g | 532 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706923’s 135 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Whopper Jr (Burger King),” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706891 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 135 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 101.3–168.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 219 kcal and 365 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706891
At an equal 100 g, this record has 92 mg less sodium than “Whopper Jr with cheese (Burger King).” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain supplies 38% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Shared listed inputs: Rolls, hamburger or hotdog, plain; Beef, ground, patties, frozen, cooked, broiled; Sauce as ingredient in hamburgers; Lettuce, iceberg, raw; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Cheese as ingredient in sandwiches.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 135 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 hamburger (135 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 155 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cheeseburger (155 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706923 with FDC 2706891 at equal mass; use their 135 g and 155 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706923 versus FDC 2706891 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 “Whopper Jr (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.
- 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 2706923 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 216 kcal per 100 g becomes 292 kcal at 135 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: 2706923
FNDDS food code: 27510552
The scaling for FDC 2706923 can be exact while the match to “Whopper Jr (Burger King)” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 135 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
