The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 176 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 252 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 16.5 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 283 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, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, 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 reference amount and 1 wing, any size answer different portion questions. Their values are scaled independently from the same per-100-gram source record.

The household measures attached to this record span roughly 55–176 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 2706057: “Chicken wing, baked, broiled, or roasted, from raw.” 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 2706057, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 drummette” through “USDA reference amount” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706057’s 70 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 fat3.5 g

≈ 17% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Sodium283 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 wing, baked, broiled, or roasted, from raw,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706059 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 drummette to 1 wing, any size

    USDA assigns those measures 22 g and 35 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 55 kcal to 88 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706059

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 74 mg less sodium than “Chicken wing, baked or broiled, from fast food / restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

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

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted 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 “baked; broiled; or roasted; from raw” fits. Inspect FDC 2706059 when “baked or broiled; from fast food / restaurant” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706057 to 2 source inputs totaling 100.8 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Chicken wing, baked, broiled, or roasted, from raw” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

2 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, Salt, table. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 74 mg less sodium than “Chicken wing, baked or broiled, from fast food / restaurant.”

Only the comparison record lists Vegetable oil, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

1 of the six displayed differences clears 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: Chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted; Salt, table.

Listed only in the comparison: Vegetable oil, NFS.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 wing, any size (35 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 wing (35 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2706057 with FDC 2706059 at equal mass; use their 70 g and 70 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706057 versus FDC 2706059 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 wing, baked, broiled, or roasted, from raw,” 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 2706057 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 252 kcal per 100 g becomes 176 kcal at 70 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.” We display it as a USDA reference amount because it is a database comparison point—not a suggested portion or a claim about what most people should eat.

Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024

FoodData Central ID: 2706057

FNDDS food code: 24162130

The scaling for FDC 2706057 can be exact while the match to “Chicken wing, baked, broiled, or roasted, from raw” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
