The editorial read
Portion: the cited record reports about 353 calories for USDA reference amount at 156 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 226 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 20.1 g protein, 0.6 g fiber, and 1,638 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is chicken, liver, all classes, cooked, simmered, representing 43.1% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The reference amount and 1 cup 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 353–470 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
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2706875: “Livers, chicken, chopped, with eggs and onion.” 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
For FDC 2706875, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 117 g | 264 kcal | 15.1 g | 0.5 g | 1,229 mg |
| USDA reference amountExact record reference weight | 156 g | 353 kcal | 20.1 g | 0.6 g | 1,638 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 208 g | 470 kcal | 26.8 g | 0.8 g | 2,184 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context
The comparison set contains 130 exact records in the Poultry mixed dishes USDA category. Here, “upper quarter” describes FDC 2706875’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
At FDC 2706875’s 156 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; 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.
Vitamin A2,714.4 µg
≈ 302% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Iron8 mg
≈ 46% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Sodium1,638 mg
≈ 71% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Saturated fat8.3 g
≈ 42% DV. This crosses the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
04 · Highest-impact checks
For “Livers, chicken, chopped, with eggs and onion,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706428 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 117–195 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 264 kcal and 441 kcal.
At an equal 100 g, this record has 12.5 g more total fat than “Chicken with gravy.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Chicken, liver, all classes, cooked, simmered supplies 43.1% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.

Uncertainty, made actionable
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 “Livers, chicken, chopped, with eggs and onion,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
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.
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
FDC 2706875 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 226 kcal per 100 g becomes 353 kcal at 156 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: 2706875
FNDDS food code: 27460710
The scaling for FDC 2706875 can be exact while the match to “Livers, chicken, chopped, with eggs and onion” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 156 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
