The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 295 calories for 1 cup at 244 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 121 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 26.1 g protein, 0.2 g fiber, and 1,020 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve, representing 51.5% 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 2706429: “Chicken or turkey fricassee.” 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 2706429, 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 | 183 g | 221 kcal | 19.6 g | 0.2 g | 765 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 244 g | 295 kcal | 26.1 g | 0.2 g | 1,020 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 305 g | 369 kcal | 32.6 g | 0.3 g | 1,275 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706429’s 244 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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 fricassee,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706543 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 244 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 183–305 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 221 kcal and 369 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706543
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.5 g less carbohydrate than “Chicken or turkey with dumplings.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Soup, chicken broth, ready-to-serve supplies 51.5% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice

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 fricassee,” 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 2706429 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 121 kcal per 100 g becomes 295 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: 2706429
FNDDS food code: 27142100
The scaling for FDC 2706429 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey fricassee” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 244 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
