The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 294 calories for 1 cup, cooked, diced at 165 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 178 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 40.1 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 780 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken breast, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw, representing 80% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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 cup, cooked, diced 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 51–374 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 2705970: “Chicken breast, grilled with sauce, skin not eaten.” 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 2705970, 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 | 51 kcal | 6.9 g | 0.1 g | 134 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 165 g | 294 kcal | 40.1 g | 0.3 g | 780 mg |
| 1 breast quarter (yield after cooking, bone removed)USDA-listed household measure | 210 g | 374 kcal | 51 g | 0.4 g | 993 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Chicken, whole pieces
The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “lower quarter” describes FDC 2705970’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2705970’s 165 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, grilled with sauce, skin not eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705968 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 210 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 51 kcal to 374 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705968
At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.3 g more carbohydrate than “Chicken breast, grilled without sauce, skin not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken breast, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Chicken breast, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw supplies 80% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “grilled with sauce; skin not eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2705968 when “grilled without sauce; skin not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
- NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.
- NS as to… means “not specified as to…” the detail that follows. It preserves an unknown distinction; it does not mean the ingredient or characteristic is absent.
Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2705970, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Chicken, whole pieces” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Only this record lists Sauce, barbecue. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
3 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
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: Chicken breast, baked, broiled, or roasted, skin not eaten, from raw; Vegetable oil, NFS.
Listed only in this record: Sauce, barbecue.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 165 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup, cooked, diced (165 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 120 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 breast (120 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705970 with FDC 2705968 at equal mass; use their 165 g and 120 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705970 versus FDC 2705968 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 portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.
For “Chicken breast, grilled with sauce, skin not eaten,” 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 2705970 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 178 kcal per 100 g becomes 294 kcal at 165 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 cup, cooked, diced 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: 2705970
FNDDS food code: 24123311
The scaling for FDC 2705970 can be exact while the match to “Chicken breast, grilled with sauce, skin not eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 165 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
