The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 276 calories for USDA reference amount at 88 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 314 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 15.8 g protein, 0.3 g fiber, and 642 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken "wings", plain, from fast food / restaurant, representing 70% 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 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 69–276 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 2706078: “Chicken "wings", plain, from other sources.” 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 2706078, 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 | 69 kcal | 4 g | 0.1 g | 160 mg |
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 66 g | 207 kcal | 11.9 g | 0.2 g | 481 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 88 g | 276 kcal | 15.8 g | 0.3 g | 642 mg |

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 "wings", plain, from other sources,” 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 2706078 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 314 kcal per 100 g becomes 276 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: 2706078
FNDDS food code: 24168022
The scaling for FDC 2706078 can be exact while the match to “Chicken "wings", plain, from other sources” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 88 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
