The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 284 calories for USDA reference amount at 88 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 323 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.7 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 742 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken wing, fried, coated, from fast food, representing 100% of the record’s listed input weight. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 drummette 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 71–284 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 2706072: “Chicken "wings", plain, 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 2706072, 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.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 drummetteUSDA-listed household measure | 22 g | 71 kcal | 3.9 g | 0.1 g | 185 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706072’s 88 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Iron; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. 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.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken "wings", plain, from fast food / restaurant,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706070 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 88 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 66–110 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 213 kcal and 355 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2706070
At an equal 100 g, this record has 8.8 g more carbohydrate than “Chicken "wings" with hot sauce, from fast food / restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Single listed source: Chicken wing, fried, coated, from fast food
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 “plain; from fast food / restaurant” fits. Inspect FDC 2706070 when “from fast food / restaurant” 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 restaurant formulation and serving size, portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method.
For “Chicken "wings", plain, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 2706072 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 323 kcal per 100 g becomes 284 kcal at 88 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: 2706072
FNDDS food code: 24168002
The scaling for FDC 2706072 can be exact while the match to “Chicken "wings", plain, from fast food / restaurant” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 88 g weight, 1-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
