Salmon Calories

CoraGregoryCPA

Hi I've posted this question before. I used the search button "calories" "salmon" and nothing came up about my old post.

How many calories are in SALMON? I buy salmon from Sam's Club. The big salmon, not the individual packs. MFP has salmon calories all over the place. Sam's Club package doesn't say wild, farm raised, nothing!

I googled "How many calories are in Salmon" and I got this? Why would salmon increase in calories after it is cooked?


Calories in 4 oz of salmon
Here are examples for both cooked and raw salmon.

Plainly cooked (grilled/oven/poached/steamed/broiled):


204 calories in 4 oz of wild Atlantic salmon
232 calories in 4 oz of fish-farmed (not wild) Atlantic salmon

Raw:


160 calories in 4 oz of wild Atlantic salmon

I'm not sure about it, but perhaps it shrank when it's cooked..? So a 4-oz salmon may become 3.5-oz or something after cooking..

I agree with above poster , meat will shrink when its cooked so 4 oz of raw salmon will be less than 4 oz of cooked salmon.

That's a good point! I never noticed the salmon shrink that much, but I hadn' weighted it before vs. after.

Thanks!!
