The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 401 calories for 1 salad at 346 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 116 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 35.3 g protein, 6.2 g fiber, and 578 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is mixed salad greens, raw, representing 39.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 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 salad at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 104–401 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706817: “Asian chicken or turkey garden salad with crispy noodles, chicken and/or turkey, lettuce, fruit, nuts, crispy noodles, no dressing.” 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 2706817, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 Wendy's salad” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 90 g | 104 kcal | 9.2 g | 1.6 g | 150 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 259.5 g | 301 kcal | 26.5 g | 4.7 g | 433 mg |
| 1 Wendy's saladUSDA-listed household measure | 346 g | 401 kcal | 35.3 g | 6.2 g | 578 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 130 exact records in the Poultry mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2706817’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706817’s 346 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.
Vitamin A439.4 µg
≈ 49% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C36 mg
≈ 40% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium578 mg
≈ 25% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat2.8 g
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Asian chicken or turkey garden salad with crispy noodles, chicken and/or turkey…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706816 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
USDA assigns those measures 90 g and 346 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 104 kcal to 401 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 14 kcal less calories than “Asian chicken or turkey garden salad, chicken and/or turkey, lettuce, fruit, nuts, no dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Mixed salad greens, raw supplies 39.8% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Keep this record when “chicken and/or turkey; lettuce; fruit; nuts” fits. Inspect FDC 2706816 when “chicken and/or turkey; lettuce; fruit; nuts” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

2 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.
Shared listed inputs: Mixed salad greens, raw; Tangerines, (mandarin oranges), raw; Noodles, chinese, chow mein.
Listed only in this record: Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only; Almonds, salted.
Listed only in the comparison: Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Nuts, almonds, whole, raw.
Portion evidence
This record’s reference amount is 346 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 salad (346 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 315 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (90 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706817 with FDC 2706816 at equal mass; use their 346 g and 315 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706817 versus FDC 2706816 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 portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Asian chicken or turkey garden salad with crispy noodles, chicken and/or turkey, lettuce…,” resolve portion 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.
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
Match the method named by the source—such as baked, fried, boiled, or grilled—before scaling. Preparation can change both water content and the ingredients retained in the finished food.
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 2706817 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 116 kcal per 100 g becomes 401 kcal at 346 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 salad has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
