The bag of salmon I got says its 100 calories for 4 oz. Does it sound accurate? Is it even possible?

Fish is generally low in calories, so yeah, totally possible.0

Hmm that actually does sound a bit low to me. It's an oily fish so higher in calories than some. But if it says that on the bag it should be accurate? Have you looked at the USDA entries on the database. I'm pretty sure when I have salmon it comes in at about 280/300 calories. Although probably for slightly more than 4oz.0

USDA for 4oz Atlantic Salmon Raw 161 calories.
4oz Chinook Salmon Raw 203 calories.

Not sure about the title of this thread. Why are you afraid of salmon? Salmon is delicious. Just log it and enjoy.
Salmon is a fairly fatty fish, but the fats are healthy and good for you.0 -
Thanks every1. I'm afraid because I've been eating all my calories (1340) and I don't want to go over. I already miatakenly ate too many by miscalculating.0

It also depend if it's pink salmon or Atlantic. Pink salmon tends to come frozen and does not contain as much fat content as Atlantic or sockeye.0

There are almost no wild caught salmon anymore. Anything Atlantic is farmed. Anything Pacific *might* be wild, but if you didn't pay a lot for it, it's probably farmed.0

My package says wild and its pink. I don't know how much was paid, my mom bought it. I hope its telling the truth.0

I just took a bag of salmon out of the freezer for dinner tonight...
Alaskan wild sockeye skin on 170g (6oz) 260 calories
So 4oz would be 173 calories

I've never had an issue finding wild caught salmon frozen or canned...fresh is seasonal. I get these at Costco...
we eat a lot of salmon...

I am scared of salmon. I have never liked it but wanted to try to like it. I bought some weeks ago and froze it until I'm ready. It seemed so stinky to me.0
