The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 436 calories for 1 cup at 241 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 23.1 g protein, 1.2 g fiber, and 1,162 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, rotisserie, skin not eaten, representing 22.8% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 10 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 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 2706788: “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no potatoes, cream, white, or soup-based sauce.” 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 2706788, 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 | 180.8 g | 327 kcal | 17.3 g | 0.9 g | 871 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 241 g | 436 kcal | 23.1 g | 1.2 g | 1,162 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 301.3 g | 545 kcal | 28.8 g | 1.5 g | 1,452 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706788’s 241 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706787 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 241 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 180.8–301.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 327 kcal and 545 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706787
At an equal 100 g, this record has 54 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, cream, white, or soup-based sauce.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, NS as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten
The source formulation has 10 input rows; Chicken, NS as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten supplies 22.8% 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 “broccoli; and dark-green leafy; no potatoes; cream” fits. Inspect FDC 2706787 when “broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes; cream” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 54 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green….”
Only this record lists Mushrooms, canned, drained solids; Milk, nonfat, fluid, without added vitamin A and vitamin D (fat free or skim). Only the comparison record lists Carrots, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Milk, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
1 of the six displayed differences clears the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.

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 or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and dark-green…,” 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 2706788 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 181 kcal per 100 g becomes 436 kcal at 241 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 has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Exact USDA description: Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no potatoes, cream, white, or soup-based sauce
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706788
FNDDS food code: 27443120
The scaling for FDC 2706788 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and dark-green leafy; no potatoes, cream, white, or soup-based sauce” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 241 g weight, 10-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
