Compare all 4 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 4 exact records in this guide report 77–174 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 154–205 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.

Match my meal

Start with the description closest to what you ate

For Chicken drumstick, baked, begin by separating “Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw” from “Chicken drumstick, baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.

What this page compares

Named source records, not one universal meal

This guide keeps 4 named USDA records in view: 4 direct matches. All sit within “Chicken, whole pieces.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.

Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first two description segments” placed these 4 records together under the exact grouping key “chicken drumstick baked.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Chicken drumstick, baked, this page can compare 4 named records from FDC 2706002 through FDC 2706026. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.

Editor’s decision brief

The three facts to carry into the table

Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.

Portion

50–85 g before composition

The largest source amount is 1.7× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

51 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “skin not eaten”; the higher is “skin / coating eaten.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

86 mg sodium gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “skin eaten” (353 mg) and “skin / coating eaten” (439 mg).

Observed source examples

Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints

The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every chicken drumstick, baked.

Important: “Lower” begins with Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw; “higher” ends with Chicken drumstick, baked, coated, skin / coating eaten, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every chicken drumstick, baked meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Chicken drumstick, baked, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.

On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.

Portion analysis

Serving total and calorie density answer different questions

The listed source amounts run from 50 to 85 grams—a 35-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 77 calories for “skin not eaten” to 174 for “skin / coating eaten.” At a fixed 100 grams, “skin not eaten” is 154 calories and “skin / coating eaten” is 205—a fixed-weight separation of 51 calories. For Chicken drumstick, baked, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.

The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.

Preparation analysis

The long description carries the evidence

The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw”, “baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw”, “baked, coated, skin / coating eaten”, and “baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes salt, table; differentiating rows include chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, drumstick, meat only, cooked, roasted, chicken, broilers or fryers, drumstick, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, vegetable oil, nfs, and breading or batter as ingredient in food. On this Chicken drumstick, baked page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.

Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.

What changes the comparison

Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record

The family label “Chicken drumstick, baked” cannot resolve the differences between Chicken drumstick, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw and Chicken drumstick, baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.

  1. 01

    Source weight before serving calories

    The source amounts span 50–85 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.

  2. 02

    The words that split the family

    Representative record-level distinctions include “baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw”, “baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw”, “baked, coated, skin / coating eaten”, and “baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    Shared source rows include salt, table; rows that vary across the set include chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, drumstick, meat only, cooked, roasted, chicken, broilers or fryers, drumstick, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, and vegetable oil, nfs. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Chicken drumstick, …, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Chicken drumstick, baked unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.

Record matching

Match identity first; scale quantity second

Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that chicken drumstick, baked is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“baked, broiled, or roasted, skin eaten, from raw”, “baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw”, “baked, coated, skin / coating eaten”, and “baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.

A practical matching checklist

  1. Read the complete Chicken drumstick, baked source description, including preparation and additions.
  2. Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
  3. Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
  4. Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.
