The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 340 calories for 1 salad at 321 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 106 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 35.3 g protein, 2.9 g fiber, and 732 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is mixed salad greens, raw, representing 39.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 9 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 salad 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 95–382 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 2706812: “Chicken or turkey garden salad with bacon and cheese, chicken and/or turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and/or greens, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing.” 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 2706812, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 cup” through “1 Wendy's salad” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 90 g | 95 kcal | 9.9 g | 0.8 g | 205 mg |
| 1 McDonald's saladUSDA-listed household measure | 321 g | 340 kcal | 35.3 g | 2.9 g | 732 mg |
| 1 Wendy's saladUSDA-listed household measure | 360 g | 382 kcal | 39.6 g | 3.2 g | 821 mg |

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706812’s 321 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken or turkey garden salad with bacon and cheese, chicken and/or turkey…,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706814 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 cup to 1 Wendy's salad
USDA assigns those measures 90 g and 360 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 95 kcal to 382 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706814
At an equal 100 g, this record has 52 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey garden salad with cheese, chicken and/or turkey, cheese, lettuce and/or greens, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Mixed salad greens, raw
The source formulation has 9 input rows; Mixed salad greens, raw supplies 39.1% 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 “chicken and/or turkey; bacon; cheese; lettuce and/or greens” fits. Inspect FDC 2706814 when “chicken and/or turkey; cheese; lettuce and/or greens; tomato and/or carrots” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Which USDA record fits your meal?
Treat the long description as data. The phrases doing the most work here are “chicken and/or turkey”, “bacon”, “cheese”, and “lettuce and/or greens”. Match those details first; then compare the database weight with the amount you mean.
On smaller screens, focus a nutrition table and scroll horizontally to read every column.
How to compare FDC 2706812: its source amount is 321 g; every 100-gram column removes portion size from the record-to-record comparison. Neither denominator determines your plate’s weight or recipe.

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 13 more calories, 1.1 g more total fat, and 52 mg more sodium than “Chicken or turkey garden salad with cheese, chicken and/or turkey, cheese, lettuce and/….”
Only this record lists Pork, cured, bacon, pre-sliced, cooked, pan-fried. 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: Mixed salad greens, raw; Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only; Tomatoes, red, ripe, raw, year round average; Cheese, cheddar; and 4 more.
Listed only in this record: Pork, cured, bacon, pre-sliced, cooked, pan-fried.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 321 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 salad (321 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 370 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 salad (370 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706812 with FDC 2706814 at equal mass; use their 321 g and 370 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706812 versus FDC 2706814 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 garden salad with bacon and cheese, chicken and/or turkey, bacon, cheese…,” 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 2706812 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 106 kcal per 100 g becomes 340 kcal at 321 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 salad has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Exact USDA description: Chicken or turkey garden salad with bacon and cheese, chicken and/or turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and/or greens, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2706812
FNDDS food code: 27446315
The scaling for FDC 2706812 can be exact while the match to “Chicken or turkey garden salad with bacon and cheese, chicken and/or turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce and/or greens, tomato and/or carrots, other vegetables, no dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 321 g weight, 9-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
