Chicken breast, baked/broiled, skin removed, pre-cooked calories: 173 per 1 breast (120 g)
This exact USDA record reports 173 calories for 1 breast (120 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 173 calories for 1 breast at 120 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 144 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 33.6 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 394 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broiler, rotisserie, bbq, breast, meat only, 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 breast 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 41–223 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
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2705958: “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked.” 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 2705958, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 breast quarter (yield after cooking, bone removed)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 41 kcal | 8 g | 0 g | 93 mg |
| 1 medium breastUSDA-listed household measure | 120 g | 173 kcal | 33.6 g | 0 g | 394 mg |
| 1 breast quarter (yield after cooking, bone removed)USDA-listed household measure | 155 g | 223 kcal | 43.4 g | 0 g | 508 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2705958’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705958’s 120 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705957 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 breast quarter (yield after cooking, bone removed)
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 155 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 41 kcal to 223 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705957
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.1 g less total fat than “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only
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
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “baked or broiled; skin not eaten; from pre-cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2705957 when “baked or broiled; skin eaten; from pre-cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion 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
cut and fat trim
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 03
cooking method
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.
- 04
breading, marinade, or sauce
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 2705958 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 144 kcal per 100 g becomes 173 kcal at 120 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 breast 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: 2705958
FNDDS food code: 24122141
The scaling for FDC 2705958 can be exact while the match to “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 120 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
