The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 425 calories for 1 cup at 244 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 174 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 32.2 g protein, 2.7 g fiber, and 1,620 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 51.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 8 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 42–425 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 2706421: “Chicken or turkey cacciatore.” 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 2706421, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 slice of chicken with sauce” 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 2706421’s 244 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Chicken or turkey cacciatore,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706527 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 slice of chicken with sauce to 1 cup

    USDA assigns those measures 24 g and 244 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 42 kcal to 425 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706527

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.5 g more total fat than “Chicken or turkey hash.” 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 8 input rows; Chicken, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten supplies 51.5% 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 the exact wording “Chicken or turkey cacciatore” fits. Inspect FDC 2706527 when the exact wording “Chicken or turkey hash” 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 2706421, 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 64 more calories, 3.6 g more protein, and 6.5 g more total fat than “Chicken or turkey hash.”

Only this record lists Chicken, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten; Garlic, raw; Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added; Tomatoes, red, ripe, canned, packed in tomato juice. Only the comparison record lists Turkey, whole, meat only, cooked, roasted; Celery, raw; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. 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: Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Chicken, NS as to part, fried, coated, skin / coating eaten; Garlic, raw; Tomato products, canned, puree, without salt added; Tomatoes, red, ripe, canned, packed in tomato juice; and 2 more.

Listed only in the comparison: Turkey, whole, meat only, cooked, roasted; Celery, raw; Potatoes, baked, flesh and skin, without salt; Onions, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 244 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (244 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 190 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (190 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706421 with FDC 2706527 at equal mass; use their 244 g and 190 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706421 versus FDC 2706527 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 or turkey cacciatore,” 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 2706421 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 174 kcal per 100 g becomes 425 kcal at 244 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.

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

FoodData Central ID: 2706421

FNDDS food code: 27141000

The scaling for FDC 2706421 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey cacciatore” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 244 g weight, 8-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
