I just had lunch and I had baked salmon. I am not a fish eater but thought this would be a healthy meal. I logged it into my food diary and it shoot back I consumed over 600 calories for just that item. Is this wrong, do I need to look for another type of fish to eat?Please help:sad:

    ummmmmmm how was it prepared ? unless it was deep fried in butter that is WAY off.... I eat baked salmon at least once a week, its caloric count is pretty good.

    Depends upon where you got it--was it at a restaurant? If not, then no way it was that many calories.

    It was baked with seasoning and lemon. I ate two small pieces, what do you think the calories should be?

    It was prepared in a chow hall on a buffet line.

    Chow Hall? Ummm...I would guess there is butter in it? I just googled and found several other websites with calorie suggestions on all types of ways to cook salmon. Have you compared it with googling?

    No, I think the salmon that is loaded into MFP database is off on the calories. I did google it and I got different numbers. Now that I can actually see the calories I'm eating I'm super paranoid. I LOVE it. Thanks for all your comments.

    Was it wild atlantic Sockeye Salmon? Which is the most common here in the states.
    If so then you ONLY ATE 155 calories dear.
