Atlantic salmon — fatty fish with omega-3, high protein, no carbs.

Best omega-3 source in the standard supermarket. ~2g EPA+DHA per 4 oz. Great for cuts where fat is limiting (use as your fat source).

Best for

  • higher-fat protein meals — 22g protein with 13g fat / 100g
  • people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets

Watch out

  • double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
  • assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here

How to log it

Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 4 oz fillet (~113g) is the practical unit in the app.

Where it fits the day

Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.

Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded

The numbers above are for plain salmon. Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:

Method

Pan-fried with oil or butter

Cooking fat on top of fish fat
Breaded & fried

Breading + oil
Restaurant glazed / sauced
~240–300
Honey glaze, cream, or butter 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.
