The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 204 calories for 1 medium thigh at 90 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 227 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 345 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, dark meat, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, braised, representing 99.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 64–306 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 2706037: “Chicken thigh, stewed, skin 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 2706037, 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 | 109 mg |
| 1 medium thighUSDA-listed household measure | 90 g | 204 kcal | 20.2 g | 0 g | 345 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 306 kcal | 30.2 g | 0 g | 517 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 2706037’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 2706037’s 90 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; 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

≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken thigh, stewed, skin eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706038 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 306 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706038
At an equal 100 g, this record has 6.7 g more total fat than “Chicken thigh, stewed, skin not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, braised
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, braised supplies 99.2% 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 “stewed; skin eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706038 when “stewed; skin not eaten” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Shared listed inputs: Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, braised.
Listed only in the comparison: Chicken, broilers or fryers, dark meat, thigh, meat only, cooked, braised.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 90 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium thigh (90 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 80 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 medium thigh (80 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706037 with FDC 2706038 at equal mass; use their 90 g and 80 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2706037 versus FDC 2706038 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 thigh, stewed, skin eaten,” 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 2706037 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 227 kcal per 100 g becomes 204 kcal at 90 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: 2706037
FNDDS food code: 24153210
The scaling for FDC 2706037 can be exact while the match to “Chicken thigh, stewed, skin eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 90 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
