This package comes with 3 fillets. It gives the nutritional facts for 4 oz. at 230 calories. I’ve eaten one. Can anyone figure out the calories for me? Can I eat another one? :)

    How much did the fillet you ate weigh?

    .93 lb = 14.88 oz.

    14.88 oz = 3.72 servings of 4 oz. each

    3.72 X 230 calories = 855.6 calories

    Only you can decide whether you can have another fillet.

    That doesn't make sense. An almost 1 lb fillet of salmon would be huge. Did you weigh that out on a food scale?

    0.93 lbs would be almost 15 oz which would be over 800 cals.

    Most frozen salmon fillets I've seen are between 3 and 5 oz.

    @cgonzalez212
    If you weighed it on a food scale, are you sure the scale wasn't set to kilograms? 93 grams would be in the typical range for a frozen salmon fillet.

    It’s cut in three pieces. I read it off the label.

    The label says .93 lbs? For the whole package? Or each filet? Can you post a picture of the label?

    So you didn't weigh it?

    OP, fish fillets are not cut evenly, the serving size will say 4 oz but some fillets will be 3.2 oz some will be 4.5 oz and some will be 5.

    That's why you need to weigh your portions on a food scale. For this time, I would just log it as 4 oz and chalk it up to experience.
