Just venting.. Steamed up some clams today - easily ate 30-40 of them at one go and barely full.. they are so easy to eat! When logging I noticed they were almost 12 kcal each which means I ate 480 calories?! That was a shocker!!

Sounds like a pretty delicious meal, though!1

I would verify your values, cooking method.... weight of meat.0

Looks like they're around 126 Cal per 85g. And don't forget any oil or butter or what have you depending on how they're prepared.0

Might want to weigh them next time to be more accurate.1

I kind of know what you're saying about how easy clams (and other shellfish) can be to eat but if you truly ate 480 calories of clams then that's something like 12 ounces of meat. That's got to be at least a little filling!2
