Breaded fish hides the fat in the coating. 229 kcal, 13.3 g fat, 18.1 g protein per 100 g. People underestimate dense foods 50–200% (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013). The breading absorbs frying oil at ~5–10% of its dry weight. Weigh after cooking.
How should I track Catfish, channel, cooked, breaded and fried?
Catfish, channel, cooked, breaded and fried is a good source of protein. For the most accurate tracking of Catfish, channel, cooked, breaded and fried, weigh it raw and boneless. Fish loses 15–25% of its weight during cooking as water evaporates (USDA cooking yield data). If you are using canned fish, the drained weight is what matters — the difference between oil-packed and water-packed can be 40–80 calories per can. A quick drain-and-weigh habit saves you from hidden calories. Also keep in mind that smoked or cured fish has different values than fresh due to moisture loss and added salt.
