The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 113 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 133 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 19.6 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 327 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, cornish game hens, meat only, cooked, roasted, representing 99.2% 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 cup, cooked, diced 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 20–333 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 2706146: “Cornish game hen, roasted, skin not eaten.” 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 2706146, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 wing (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)” through “1 hen (1-1/4 lb, raw) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 wing (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)USDA-listed household measure | 15 g | 20 kcal | 3.5 g | 0 g | 58 mg |
| 1 cup, cooked, dicedUSDA-listed household measure | 140 g | 186 kcal | 32.3 g | 0 g | 539 mg |
| 1 hen (1-1/4 lb, raw) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)USDA-listed household measure | 250 g | 333 kcal | 57.8 g | 0 g | 963 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2706146’s 85 g reference weight, none of the compatible strength-side nutrients evaluated here reaches 5% Daily Value; 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
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
Sodium327 mg
≈ 14% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat0.8 g
≈ 4% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Cornish game hen, roasted, skin not eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706144 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 wing (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed) to 1 hen (1-1/4 lb, raw) (yield after cooking, bone and skin removed)
USDA assigns those measures 15 g and 250 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 20 kcal to 333 kcal.
- 02
Source identity: FDC 2706146 versus 2706144
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.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Chicken, cornish game hens, meat only, cooked, roasted
The source formulation has 2 input rows; Chicken, cornish game hens, meat only, cooked, roasted supplies 99.2% 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 2706146 when this is the cited source; do not manufacture a nutritional distinction that the records do not show.

Source-equivalent fields
Different source identities, matching published reference fields
Across the nutrient, portion, and formulation fields published here, FDC 2706146 and FDC 2706144 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 2706146 versus FDC 2706144 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 “Cornish game hen, roasted, skin not eaten,” 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 2706146 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 133 kcal per 100 g becomes 113 kcal at 85 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: 2706146
FNDDS food code: 24401020
The scaling for FDC 2706146 can be exact while the match to “Cornish game hen, roasted, skin not eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
