The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 282 calories for 1 cup at 252 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 112 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 17.9 g protein, 2.5 g fiber, and 925 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is gravy, chicken, canned or bottled, ready-to-serve, representing 44% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 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 2706785: “Chicken or turkey and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy.” 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 2706785, 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 | 189 g | 212 kcal | 13.4 g | 1.9 g | 694 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 252 g | 282 kcal | 17.9 g | 2.5 g | 925 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 315 g | 353 kcal | 22.4 g | 3.2 g | 1,156 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706785’s 252 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 A355.3 µg
≈ 39% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C16 mg
≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken or turkey and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706669 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 252 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 189–315 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 212 kcal and 353 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706669
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.7 g less carbohydrate than “Chicken or turkey, potatoes, and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; gravy.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Gravy, chicken, canned or bottled, ready-to-serve
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Gravy, chicken, canned or bottled, ready-to-serve supplies 44% 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; gravy” fits. Inspect FDC 2706669 when “potatoes; and vegetables including carrots; broccoli; and/or dark-green leafy” 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 2706785, 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.

Only the comparison record lists Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt. 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, NS as to part, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Gravy, chicken, canned or bottled, ready-to-serve; Carrots, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Broccoli, frozen, chopped, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; and 2 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Potatoes, boiled, cooked without skin, flesh, without salt.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets match
This record’s reference amount is 252 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (252 g).

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 and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no…,” 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 2706785 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 112 kcal per 100 g becomes 282 kcal at 252 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 and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706785
FNDDS food code: 27442110
The scaling for FDC 2706785 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey and vegetables including carrots, broccoli, and/or dark-green leafy; no potatoes, gravy” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 252 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
