The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 451 calories for 1 cup at 241 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 187 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 22.7 g protein, 1.4 g fiber, and 1,031 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.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 239–451 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 2706787: “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or 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 2706787, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 Banquet's Cookin' Bag (4.5 oz)” through “1 cup” 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 2706787’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.

Strength-side signals

Vitamin A592.9 µg

≈ 66% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin D2.4 µg

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706788 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 Banquet's Cookin' Bag (4.5 oz) to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 128 g and 241 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 239 kcal to 451 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706788

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 54 mg less sodium than “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and 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.

  3. 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/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes; cream” fits. Inspect FDC 2706788 when “broccoli; and dark-green leafy; no potatoes; cream” 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 2706787, 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 54 mg less sodium than “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables excluding carrorts, broccoli, and dark-green….”

Only this record lists Carrots, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Milk, NFS. Only the comparison record lists Mushrooms, canned, drained solids; Milk, nonfat, fluid, without added vitamin A and vitamin D (fat free or skim). 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.

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, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg yolk; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; Pimento, canned; and 4 more.

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 including carrots, broccoli, and/or 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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706787 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 187 kcal per 100 g becomes 451 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 including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, cream, white, or soup-based sauce

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706787

FNDDS food code: 27443110

The scaling for FDC 2706787 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey a la king with vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or 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.
