Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal calories: 490 per 1 meal (312 g)

This exact USDA record reports 490 calories for 1 meal (312 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 490 calories for 1 meal at 312 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 157 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 32.1 g protein, 5.3 g fiber, and 2,087 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, ns as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten, representing 41.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 meal at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.

Record-specific decision brief

What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you

This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707106: “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal.” 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 2707106, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707106’s 312 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.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A212.2 µg

≈ 24% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Dietary fiber5.3 g

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707108 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 312 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 234–390 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 367 kcal and 612 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707108

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.4 g less carbohydrate than “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, dessert, frozen meal, large meat portion.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Chicken, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Chicken, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten supplies 41.1% 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 “fried; with potatoes; vegetable; frozen meal” fits. Inspect FDC 2707108 when “fried; with potatoes; vegetable; dessert” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707106 to 4 source inputs totaling 264.8 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707106, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Poultry mixed dishes” 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.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 44 less calories, 7.4 g less carbohydrate, and 1.8 g less total fat than “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, dessert, frozen meal, large meat portion.”

Only this record lists Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat; Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat. Only the comparison record lists Potatoes, french fried, all types, salt added in processing, frozen, home-prepared, oven heated; Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt; Apple, baked; Beverages, water, tap, municipal. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

4 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, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten; Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Potatoes, mashed, ready-to-eat; Classic mixed vegetables, frozen, cooked, no added fat.

Listed only in the comparison: Potatoes, french fried, all types, salt added in processing, frozen, home-prepared, oven heated; Corn, sweet, yellow, frozen, kernels cut off cob, boiled, drained, without salt; Apple, baked; Beverages, water, tap, municipal; and 10 more.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 312 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (312 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 468 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 Banquet meal (468 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707106 with FDC 2707108 at equal mass; use their 312 g and 468 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707106 versus FDC 2707108 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 amount of absorbed frying fat, portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method.

For “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    amount of absorbed frying fat

    Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.

  2. 02

    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.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    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.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2707106 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 157 kcal per 100 g becomes 490 kcal at 312 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 meal 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: 2707106

FNDDS food code: 28140710

The scaling for FDC 2707106 can be exact while the match to “Chicken, fried, with potatoes, vegetable, frozen meal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 312 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
