Chicken breast, stewed, skin eaten calories: 272 per 1 breast (150 g)
This exact USDA record reports 272 calories for 1 breast (150 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 272 calories for 1 breast at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 181 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 37.1 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 474 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 or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw, representing 84.5% 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 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 51–308 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 2705965: “Chicken breast, stewed, skin 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 2705965, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 large breast” 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 | 7 g | 0 g | 90 mg |
| 1 medium breastUSDA-listed household measure | 150 g | 272 kcal | 37.1 g | 0 g | 474 mg |
| 1 large breastUSDA-listed household measure | 170 g | 308 kcal | 42 g | 0 g | 537 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 2705965’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 2705965’s 150 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, stewed, skin eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705966 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 large breast
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 170 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 51 kcal to 308 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2705966
At an equal 100 g, this record has 5 g more total fat than “Chicken breast, stewed, skin not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Chicken, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw supplies 84.5% 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 “stewed; skin eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2705966 when “stewed; skin not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 32 more calories, 3.3 g less protein, and 5 g more total fat than “Chicken breast, stewed, skin not eaten.”
Only this record lists Chicken, broilers or fryers, skin only, raw. 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, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Chicken, broilers or fryers, skin only, raw.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 150 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 breast (150 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 140 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 breast (140 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2705965 with FDC 2705966 at equal mass; use their 150 g and 140 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2705965 versus FDC 2705966 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, stewed, skin 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 2705965 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 181 kcal per 100 g becomes 272 kcal at 150 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: 2705965
FNDDS food code: 24123110
The scaling for FDC 2705965 can be exact while the match to “Chicken breast, stewed, skin eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
