The editorial read

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

Portion: the cited record reports about 186 calories for USDA reference amount at 70 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 265 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 281 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 97.2% 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, 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 58–186 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 2706064: “Chicken wing, sauteed.” 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 2706064, 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 2706064’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.

Sodium281 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, sauteed,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706062 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 58 kcal to 93 kcal.

  2. 02

    Source identity: FDC 2706064 versus 2706062

    The closest published neighbor currently carries the same nutrient, portion, and source-input evidence. The FDC IDs still identify separate source records, so the exact citation remains the deciding field.

  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 97.2% 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

The published nutrient, portion, and formulation evidence is identical for this pair. Preserve FDC 2706064 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2706064 to 3 source inputs totaling 100.8 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Chicken wing, sauteed” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

3 listed components

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

100.8 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

USDA shorthand in this evidence
  • NFS means “not further specified.” The record intentionally leaves the exact subtype, size, or preparation unresolved.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2706064, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Chicken, whole pieces” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Source-equivalent fields

Different source identities, matching published reference fields

Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2706064 and FDC 2706062 match exactly. Their descriptions and source identities remain distinct provenance; matching database fields do not make every real-world version interchangeable.

Practical reading: do not infer a nutrient difference from the names alone. Choose the description that more closely matches what was reported, while treating the shared values as a standardized reference rather than a measurement of your plate.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2706064 versus FDC 2706062 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, sauteed,” 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 2706064 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 265 kcal per 100 g becomes 186 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: 2706064

FNDDS food code: 24164200

The scaling for FDC 2706064 can be exact while the match to “Chicken wing, sauteed” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 70 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
