Chicken, neck or ribs calories: 86 per 1 neck (35 g)
This exact USDA record reports 86 calories for 1 neck (35 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 86 calories for 1 neck at 35 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 245 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.8 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 131 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broilers or fryers, neck, meat and skin, cooked simmered, representing 99.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 neck 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 2706082: “Chicken, neck or ribs.” 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 2706082, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 26.3 g | 64 kcal | 5.1 g | 0 g | 98 mg |
| 1 neck (yield after cooking, bone removed)USDA-listed household measure | 35 g | 86 kcal | 6.8 g | 0 g | 131 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 43.8 g | 107 kcal | 8.5 g | 0 g | 164 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706082’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 2706082’s 35 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. 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
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat1.7 g
≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium131 mg
≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken, neck or ribs,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706081 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 35 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 26.3–43.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 64 kcal and 107 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706081
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.3 g less protein than “Chicken, back.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, broilers or fryers, neck, meat and skin, cooked simmered
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, neck, meat and skin, cooked simmered supplies 99.2% 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 “neck or ribs” fits. Inspect FDC 2706081 when “back” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 53 less calories, 6.3 g less protein, and 2.8 g less total fat than “Chicken, back.”
Only this record lists Chicken, broilers or fryers, neck, meat and skin, cooked simmered. Only the comparison record lists Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat and skin, cooked, roasted. 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: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Chicken, broilers or fryers, neck, meat and skin, cooked simmered.
Listed only in the comparison: Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat and skin, cooked, roasted.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 35 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 neck (35 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 85 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 small back (110 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706082 with FDC 2706081 at equal mass; use their 35 g and 85 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706082 versus FDC 2706081 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, neck or ribs,” 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 2706082 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 245 kcal per 100 g becomes 86 kcal at 35 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 neck 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: 2706082
FNDDS food code: 24180200
The scaling for FDC 2706082 can be exact while the match to “Chicken, neck or ribs” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 35 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
