Cooked crab meat — lean shellfish protein.

Lump crab meat is premium; "claw" is cheaper, more flavorful. Sodium varies wildly.

Best for

  • cutting or high-protein days — 18g protein / 100g at 87 kcal
  • meals where you want volume of protein without a fat bomb

Watch out

  • restaurant versions that are breaded, sauced, or cooked in oil — the log is for the plain item
  • weighing cooked vs raw without matching the database state

How to log it

Prefer weighing crab meat after cooking if that is how you eat it, or stick to one convention. 4 oz (~113g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Fits as the protein anchor. Pair with a carb and produce so the plate is not only lean protein and boredom.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

The page numbers are for plain crab meat. Oil, breading, and restaurant sauces change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

Method

Breaded & fried

Breading + frying oil
Restaurant sauced

Butter, cream, glaze, or heavy sauce

These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
