Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
Roasting drives off water and renders some fat, so this row is 232 kcal per 100 g against 221 raw: denser rather than fattier. The roasted skinless thigh is 179, which puts the skin at about 53 kcal per 100 g once cooked. The fat that leaves the meat ends up in the tin, and whether any of it comes back depends on whether it gets spooned over on the way to the plate.
Logging this food
A roasted thigh with skin is 137 g and 318 kcal — one piece, and more than a whole roasted half breast. A 3 oz portion is 85 g and 197 kcal. Weigh after cooking for this row: the raw-with-skin row is 221 per 100 g and a whole raw thigh is 193 g, so the two rows are not interchangeable by weight even though they describe the same thigh.
Swaps and alternatives
Pulling the skin off after roasting takes the same thigh to 179 kcal per 100 g. Roasted breast with skin is 197 and skinless 165, so breast beats thigh at every rung of this ladder by roughly 50 kcal per 100 g. Thigh's case has never been the number — it is texture, moisture and the fact that it forgives an extra five minutes in the oven.
