Whole fish cuts CVD mortality. SRR 0.75 at 100 g/day across 34 meta-analyses (Jayedi & Shab-Bidar, Adv Nutr 2020). Per 100 g: 120 kcal, 20.1 g protein, 3.8 g fat. Salmon sits at the calorie-dense end of the fish shelf — a standard 150 g portion runs 300–320 kcal.
How should I track Salmon, chum, raw?
Salmon, chum, raw is high in protein. For the most accurate tracking of Salmon, chum, raw, 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.
