Halibut calories

Tonight for dinner I made 2 prepackaged pieces of Halibut. They were packaged at 4oz and the label said 19 grams of protein and .5 grams of fat per 4oz. Looking online everywhere says halibut is 124 calories per 4oz. This was wild caught and skinless. Is the packaging wrong?? Not a big deal but sucks that I thought I was eating much less!!

    Well, that's interesting: Calorie King has 158kcals and MFP has 126kcals for 4oz halibut. Not sure if the difference comes from including the skin (which I wouldn't eat, anyway). I haven't seen that much variation on a food before.

    Good stuff to eat, though.

    Search for "fish halibut raw" and log the 4 oz. if the package of fish was raw. That will give you the lower calorie amount. Four ounces of cooked halibut will have more Calories.
