The editorial read

The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity

Portion: the cited record reports about 155 calories for USDA reference amount at 85 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 182 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 20.7 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 388 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.

Identity: the largest listed formulation input is turkey, retail parts, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted, representing 65.5% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 4 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.

The reference amount and 1 cup, diced, cooked 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 52–673 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 2706125: “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin 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 2706125, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “1 oz, boneless, cooked” through “1 large thigh (from tom, approx 19 to 21 lb bird) (yield after cooking, bone removed)” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2706125’s 85 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 “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin eaten,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2706126 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Listed portion span: 1 oz, boneless, cooked to 1 large thigh (from tom, approx 19 to 21 lb bird) (yield after cooking, bone removed)

    USDA assigns those measures 28.4 g and 370 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 52 kcal to 673 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2706126

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 3.3 g more total fat than “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin not eaten.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Turkey, retail parts, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted

    The source formulation has 4 input rows; Turkey, retail parts, thigh, meat and skin, cooked, roasted supplies 65.5% 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 “thigh; cooked; skin eaten” fits. Inspect FDC 2706126 when “thigh; cooked; skin not eaten” 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 portion size, cut and fat trim, cooking method, breading, marinade, or sauce.

For “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin eaten,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2706125 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 182 kcal per 100 g becomes 155 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: 2706125

FNDDS food code: 24202460

The scaling for FDC 2706125 can be exact while the match to “Turkey, thigh, cooked, skin eaten” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 85 g weight, 4-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
