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: 160 kcal, 21.3 g protein, 7.7 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, coho, farmed, raw?
Salmon, coho, farmed, raw is high in protein. For the most accurate tracking of Salmon, coho, farmed, 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.
