I am looking for guidance. I purchased frozen Atlantic Salmon at Sam’s Cub package says 230 calories for 113 g serving

Purchased frozen wild caught pink Salmon at Walmart package say 130 calories for 112 g serving.

Any thought on which one is correct?w4433cal5v5k.jpeg

    In the food tracker, the entries for frozen wild-caught salmon are all over the place. Even still, 130 seems really low. I entered it for normal salmon and got some verified amounts that hit around 230.

    Likely both are correct. Atlantic Salmon is not the same as Pink Salmon. That would be like saying I bought a steak from Costco and a pork chop from Wal-mart and the calories are different even though the serving sizes are the same.

    Just did a quick google and it seems pink salmon is lower in oils than Atlantic salmon, so that's probably what is accounting for the lower caloric content.
