The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 185 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 264 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 16.2 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 335 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 97% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 wing 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 58–185 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 2706059: “Chicken wing, baked or broiled, from fast food / restaurant.” 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 2706059, 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 2706059’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 fat3.6 g

≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Sodium335 mg

≈ 15% 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 or broiled, from fast food / restaurant,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2705959 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 drummette to 1 wing

    USDA assigns those measures 22 g and 35 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 58 kcal to 92 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2705959

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 7.8 g more total fat than “Chicken breast, baked or broiled, skin eaten, 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 3 input rows; Chicken, broilers or fryers, wing, meat and skin, cooked, roasted supplies 97% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

05 · Exact-record choice

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 restaurant formulation and serving size, portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method.

For “Chicken wing, baked or broiled, from fast food / restaurant,” resolve restaurant formulation and serving size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 01

    restaurant formulation and serving 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

    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.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    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.

How we estimated this

The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point

FDC 2706059 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 264 kcal per 100 g becomes 185 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: 2706059

FNDDS food code: 24162150

The scaling for FDC 2706059 can be exact while the match to “Chicken wing, baked or broiled, from fast food / restaurant” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
