Before you use this number
- High-dose zinc supplements can cause copper deficiency. This applies to supplements, not to food. People who regularly take high doses of zinc, or use large amounts of zinc-containing denture cream, can develop copper deficiency, because zinc inhibits copper absorption. Evidence: cu-04
- The upper limit does not apply to this number. The Tolerable Upper Intake Level of 3,000 mcg a day applies only to preformed vitamin A from animal sources and supplements, not to the carotenoids in plant foods. Intakes of preformed vitamin A above that level, and some retinoid medicines, can cause congenital birth defects. Evidence: vita-03 · vita-04

Worth knowing
- Cholesterol is 88 mg per 100 g, 29% of the Daily Value. The FDA Daily Value is the reference for nutrients to limit. How much that matters depends on your whole day rather than on one food.
- Saturated fat is 5.82 g per 100 g, 29% of the Daily Value. The FDA Daily Value is the reference for nutrients to limit. How much that matters depends on your whole day rather than on one food.

Source and how to read this
Data: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, release 2018-04 (final), FDC ID 171071. Described in USDA as Chicken, broilers or fryers, back, meat and skin, cooked, roasted; we shorten these names for readability and keep the original here. Values are per 100 g of edible portion as USDA reports them; a serving may be more or less.
Portion: "1 unit (yield from 1 lb ready-to-cook chicken)" = 32 g is the primary household measure USDA records for this food. Per-100 g values let you compare foods; per-portion values are closer to what you actually eat.
% Daily Value: FDA Daily Values for adults and children 4+ (FDA, page updated 2024-03-05). "High" means ≥20% DV and "good source" 10–19% DV — FDA's labelling cut-offs (21 CFR 101.54), which apply per serving; we apply the same cut-offs to 100 g so foods can be compared. No DV exists for energy or total sugars, so those show no percentage.
