Compare all 2 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources

The 2 exact records in this guide report 215–334 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 175–287 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 patty, begin by separating “Chicken patty, breaded” from “Chicken patty, or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal.” 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 2 named USDA records in view: 2 direct matches. They span 2 source categories, including Chicken patties, nuggets and tenders and Poultry mixed dishes. 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 description segment” placed these 2 records together under the exact grouping key “chicken patty.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.

For Chicken patty, this page can compare 2 named records from FDC 2706088 through FDC 2707107. 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

75–191 g before composition

The largest source amount is 2.5× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.

Composition

112 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints

The lower endpoint is “or nuggets; boneless; potatoes; vegetable; frozen meal”; the higher is “breaded.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.

Discriminator

1.1 g fiber gap per 100 g

Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “breaded” (0.3 g) and “or nuggets; boneless; potatoes; vegetable; frozen meal” (1.4 g).

Observed source examples

Both records, with their own serving weights intact

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 patty.

Important: “Lower” begins with Chicken patty, breaded; “higher” ends with Chicken patty, or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every chicken patty meal.

Full comparison

Compare every selected FNDDS record

For Chicken patty, 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 75 to 191 grams—a 116-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 215 calories for “breaded” to 334 for “or nuggets; boneless; potatoes; vegetable; frozen meal.” At a fixed 100 grams, “or nuggets; boneless; potatoes; vegetable; frozen meal” is 175 calories and “breaded” is 287—a fixed-weight separation of 112 calories. For Chicken patty, 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 “breaded” and “or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal”. The source formulations contain 4 distinct ingredient codes; examples that appear in only part of the set include chicken patty, frozen, cooked, chicken, ns as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt, and potatoes, french fried, all types, salt added in processing, frozen, home-prepared, oven heated. On this Chicken patty 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 patty” cannot resolve the differences between Chicken patty, breaded and Chicken patty, or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal. 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 75–191 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 “breaded” and “or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.

  3. 03

    Formulation evidence, with limits

    4 source-input codes appear across the selected records. Their presence and listed weights describe USDA formulations, not finished plated proportions.

  4. 04

    The unresolved plate

    Even “Chicken patty, breaded” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Chicken patty 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 patty is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“breaded” and “or nuggets, boneless, breaded, potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal”—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 patty 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.
