The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 181 calories for 1 medium thigh at 80 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 226 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 18 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 268 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broiler, rotisserie, bbq, thigh, meat and skin, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. 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 64–305 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 2706031: “Chicken thigh, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked.” 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 2706031, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, cooked” through “1 cup, cooked, diced” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz, cookedUSDA-listed household measure | 28.4 g | 64 kcal | 6.4 g | 0 g | 95 mg |
| 1 medium thighUSDA-listed household measure | 80 g | 181 kcal | 18 g | 0 g | 268 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 305 kcal | 30.4 g | 0 g | 452 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
Where 100 grams sits inside Chicken, whole pieces
The comparison set contains 125 exact records in the Chicken, whole pieces USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2706031’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706031’s 80 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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.
Strength-side signals
No compatible strength-side nutrient evaluated here reaches 5% DV at this reference weight, so this page does not manufacture a “strength” from a negligible percentage.
Tradeoff-side signals
Saturated fat3.1 g
≈ 16% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium268 mg
≈ 12% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken thigh, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706032 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 oz, cooked to 1 cup, cooked, diced
USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 64 kcal to 305 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706032
At an equal 100 g, this record has 4.4 g more total fat than “Chicken thigh, baked or broiled, skin not eaten, from pre-cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, thigh, meat and skin
USDA derives this record from one listed source-input row at 100 g. Real preparations can still differ in water, cooking state, brand, and served weight.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “baked or broiled; skin eaten; from pre-cooked” fits. Inspect FDC 2706032 when “baked or broiled; skin not eaten; from pre-cooked” 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 or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked,” 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 2706031 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 226 kcal per 100 g becomes 181 kcal at 80 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: 2706031
FNDDS food code: 24152240
The scaling for FDC 2706031 can be exact while the match to “Chicken thigh, baked or broiled, skin eaten, from pre-cooked” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 80 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
