The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 294 calories for 1 cup at 140 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 210 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 31.6 g protein, 0.8 g fiber, and 825 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten, representing 59.9% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 12 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 294–481 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 2706441: “Chicken or turkey cordon bleu.” 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 2706441, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 roll (1/2 breast with ham and sauce)” 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 | 105 g | 221 kcal | 23.7 g | 0.6 g | 618 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 294 kcal | 31.6 g | 0.8 g | 825 mg |
| 1 roll (1/2 breast with ham and sauce)USDA-listed household measure | 229 g | 481 kcal | 51.8 g | 1.4 g | 1,349 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706441’s 140 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Calcium; 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

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken or turkey cordon bleu,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706442 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 roll (1/2 breast with ham and sauce)
USDA assigns those measures 140 g and 229 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 294 kcal to 481 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706442
At an equal 100 g, this record has 175 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey parmigiana.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten
The source formulation has 12 input rows; Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten supplies 59.9% 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 cordon bleu” fits. Inspect FDC 2706442 when the exact wording “Chicken or turkey parmigiana” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 36 more calories, 6.4 g more protein, and 175 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey parmigiana.”
Only this record lists Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Ham, sliced, pre-packaged, deli meat (96%fat free, water added); Cheese, swiss; Parsley, fresh. Only the comparison record lists Chicken, broiler or fryers, breast, skinless, boneless, meat only, raw; Cheese, mozzarella, low moisture, part-skim; Tomato products, canned, sauce; Cheese, parmesan, grated. 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: Bread, crumbs, dry, grated, plain; Salt, table; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Flour, wheat, all-purpose, enriched, bleached; and 1 more.
Listed only in this record: Chicken breast, rotisserie, skin not eaten; Ham, sliced, pre-packaged, deli meat (96%fat free, water added); Cheese, swiss; Parsley, fresh; and 3 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 cordon bleu,” 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 2706441 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 210 kcal per 100 g becomes 294 kcal at 140 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: 2706441
FNDDS food code: 27146250
The scaling for FDC 2706441 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey cordon bleu” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 140 g weight, 12-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
