The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 264 calories for 1 medium thigh at 110 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 240 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 23.1 g protein, 0.2 g fiber, and 462 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, representing 87.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 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 medium thigh 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 68–336 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 2706054: “Chicken thigh, baked, coated, skin / coating eaten.” 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 2706054, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 large thigh” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Chicken thigh, baked, coated, skin / coating eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706055 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 large thigh

    USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 140 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 68 kcal to 336 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706055

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 4 g more carbohydrate than “Chicken thigh, baked, coated, skin / coating not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted supplies 87.3% 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 “baked; coated; skin / coating eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706055 when “baked; coated; skin / coating not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

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 thigh, baked, coated, skin / coating eaten,” 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 2706054 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 240 kcal per 100 g becomes 264 kcal at 110 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 medium thigh 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: 2706054

FNDDS food code: 24157400

The scaling for FDC 2706054 can be exact while the match to “Chicken thigh, baked, coated, skin / coating eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 110 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
