The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 268 calories for 1 meal at 241 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 111 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 23.6 g protein, 1.9 g fiber, and 988 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, broiler, rotisserie, bbq, breast, meat only, representing 30% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 14 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 meal at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707110: “Chicken with rice and vegetable, diet frozen meal.” 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 2707110, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 180.8 g | 201 kcal | 17.7 g | 1.4 g | 741 mg |
| 1 meal (8.5 oz)USDA-listed household measure | 241 g | 268 kcal | 23.6 g | 1.9 g | 988 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 301.3 g | 334 kcal | 29.6 g | 2.4 g | 1,235 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707110’s 241 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Potassium; 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.
Strength-side signals
Potassium455 mg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Magnesium39 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Chicken with rice and vegetable, diet frozen meal,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707112 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 241 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 180.8–301.3 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 201 kcal and 334 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707112
At an equal 100 g, this record has 2.5 g less total fat than “Chicken and vegetable entree with rice, diet frozen meal.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only
The source formulation has 14 input rows; Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only supplies 30% 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 “diet frozen meal” fits. Inspect FDC 2707112 when “diet frozen meal” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 60 less calories, 8.6 g less carbohydrate, and 2.5 g less total fat than “Chicken and vegetable entree with rice, diet frozen meal.”
Only this record lists Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only; Mushrooms, cooked, as ingredient; Oil, soybean; Syrups, corn, light. Only the comparison record lists Chicken, NS as to part and cooking method, NS as to skin eaten; Asian stir fry vegetables, cooked, no added fat; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Sugars, brown. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
4 of the six displayed differences clear 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: Beverages, water, tap, municipal; Cornstarch; Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked; Sugars, granulated.
Listed only in this record: Chicken, broiler, rotisserie, BBQ, breast, meat only; Mushrooms, cooked, as ingredient; Oil, soybean; Syrups, corn, light; and 6 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Chicken, NS as to part and cooking method, NS as to skin eaten; Asian stir fry vegetables, cooked, no added fat; Soy sauce made from soy and wheat (shoyu); Sugars, brown; and 4 more.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 241 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (241 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 255 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 meal (255 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707110 with FDC 2707112 at equal mass; use their 241 g and 255 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707110 versus FDC 2707112 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 with rice and vegetable, diet frozen meal,” 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 2707110 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 111 kcal per 100 g becomes 268 kcal at 241 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.” The separately listed 1 meal has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707110
FNDDS food code: 28141250
The scaling for FDC 2707110 can be exact while the match to “Chicken with rice and vegetable, diet frozen meal” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 241 g weight, 14-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
